Default Yep. . .

Hey guys I really appreciate all the responses. I was really set on getting the speed fittings for my setup but. . . .

I had to use the Inno barbs that I had for the 10mm (works for 3/8"ID Tygon) fittings on my rad. I have to use a L-barb on the Tank-O-Matic going to the MCW5000 block. Then going from the MCW50 then the rad where both barbs had a slight leak on where they are threaded. The barbs are BSPT which is the standard for the Innovatek rad but it still leaked just a bit so I got some silicone sealer and am letting that dry now. I have a mid tower and space is a premium but from the rad to the pump I had to wrap a cycle of tubing around but I still have an L-Joint returning to the pump as well. I need to figure out a way to prevent that but if I cut a longer length of tubing it will probably rub against the fans(2 side 120mm fans of which one will suck air through the externally mounted Inno rad) thus I know I am losing flow but I am conceding it for now.

Tried to find tubing that would fit in the 3/8"OD (5/16"ID) JG fittings other than that generic and kink master tubing that comes with the Innovatek but no go. That tubing is 1mm and will work with the 3/8"OD JGs but the 5/16"ID, 7/16"OD Tygon is too thick (1/16"WT) and just won't work. Interestingly though the 1/2"OD (3/8"ID) Tygon will work with the JG 1/2"OD fittings and works great. Did wind up going to Ryan Herco (thanks again dima y) but they couldn't help with the 3/8"OD fittings. I would imagine there is a vinyl or silicone tubing maker that could work with them but I don't know of one yet. At least I can go somewhere local for alot of the fittings.

Well all this is just an update for those who have helped.
