Danger Den NV-68 Help

meltedbarrel · 12-25-2004, 08:22 PM

My wife just bought me a new Danger Den NV-68 Waterblock for my system. Unfortuanately, she bought it with the 1/4" barbs. Does anyone know if there is a way to change out the barbs, as the barbs look to be epoxied into a lucite blocke attached to the waterblock.

Simply unscrew the barbs, they're not in too tight. Put some 1/2" in the same way, I suppose those are the ones you want right?

Yeah, I want to use the 1/2" barbs, which I have. They just looked to be glued in somehow, although it could be some type of leak stopping agent. Just don't want to ruin it. Thanks.

It is just a glue used to seal barbs in place... use a spanner to undo the barbs and the glue should just crack away.

Thanks. I just ended up sending it back to DD and they replaced it with the barbs I wanted.
