Im getting some custom waterblocks made and I decided to use 3/8" BSPP over the standard smaller 1/4" BSPT threads, however now I cant find anywhere to buy the barbs! The barb end preferably to have an ID around 13mm. Anyone know where they can be bought in the UK?
Anyone? Ive looked through all the links in the w/c sticky above and I cant find any that are suitable. All the ones with 3/8" BSPP seem to have 9mm OD which is what I would expect from 1/4" BSPP
According to www.thermochill.com they're BSPT which makes it easier: http://www.coolercases.co.uk/wc_fittings.htm - look for thermochill barbs or http://secure.thorite.co.uk/Thorite_Male_BSPT_hose_connector_164.html
No I need BSPP (aka just BSP) for my waterblocks. These have a parrelell thread, oring at the end to seal it and are shorter than BSPT. On the site you linked, its listed as this: 3/8" male BSPT x 1/2" bore Except it has to be BSP/BSPP instead of BSPT.
Opps, don't know why I assumed it was thermonchill anyway here they are: http://www.airlines-pneumatics.co.uk/webcat/Detprod.asp?ProductCode=S010144 Code 103496 is your barb.
They just arrived, and are, as I said above, perfect. 11mm ID, and only two barbs bits at the end, the rest is flat different to in the pic, and they are also resonably shiny. Thanks
The barbs didnt have orings with them I didnt think they would Anyone know where I can get orings? only site I know is chronos.ltd.uk but they have £15 min order. I should have checked that site I got the barbs from but I didnt notice any on there at the time, and Id prefer not to pay £5 postage for 30p worth of orings Heres a pic of my blocks I willbe using the barbs in http://server5.uploadit.org/files/kbn2k3-kbn_blocks2.jpg
