I have now... As someone was responding here I've kept any questions here assuming that someone would take it up if there was a problem.

Yay! Finally checked in and despatched! I'll photograph unboxing and post up my findings when they arrive.

Thanks OCUK!

They certainly look a piece of beauty. Any chance shomeone could do an install guide/vid for these fittings. I've had a quick look on Youtube, but couldn't see anything

skip to 2:00 to see them being used rather than just fondled by the dippy albeit lovely lady

I googled "monsoon fittings video" and this was the 2nd link at the top of the page by the way :rolleyes:

So yesterday I received the VL3 and VL3N barb male/female fittings.

I'm disappointed to report that these definitely are NOT compatible fittings (VL3 & VL3N)
The barrel or the male

is too wide to fit inside the female

:(

I guess you have to match male VL3 to female VL3 and vice versa with VL3N's.

OCUK's excellent customer service raised the RMA and back they've gone. Shame

Having got my hands on the kit though, it certainly it VERY nonrestrictive (if you push the valve in either component in, and then blow through the fitting) - definitely leaps and bounds better than the Phobya ones - (don't for pity's sake buy those unless you need to cripple flow in your rig)

Gutted at the outcome, but delighted with OCUK's help in the matter.

Sorry. Will try and sort this. I used the Koolance setups for these so if it is unclear then it was written like that on their website.

I will try to make things a little more clear on OcUK now
