Thickness of walls and Innovatek WaterBlock

Nomad0 · 04-05-2002, 09:42 AM

1. Who works with InnovateK WaterBlock, help me please - what fitting (ID and thickness of walls) do you use? Even thickness 1/16" and ID 3/8" don't work. What then?
2. What thickness of walls is better - 1/16" or 1/8" (Eheim 1250, BI Xtreme)?

although I can't comment on the tubing, the thickness of the tubing question isn't too hard

The thicker the tubing is the less it will kink, but the thicker the tubing, the more it will cost, and the more room it will take up in your case

unscrew the stock fittings
purchase two 1/4 in. NPT x 1/2 in. barbed fittings
carefully apply 4 or 5 wraps of Teflon tape (without covering the first thread)
screw in tight, once - not over and over

works fine, no leaks
