Koolance have launched some new ones

My problem is this, I am using 7/16 ID tubing but I don't know which of these new Koolance disconnects to get.

Please help

Thanks

i'm on 7/16 and bought the 1/2" and they fit nice and snug and with the hose clamp there not going anywhere. ;)

I'm on the new versions, look good and perform great, although bleeding my loop is a little harder now, quite a bit of restriction but not sure if it's these or the RIVE blocks as i fitted at the same time.

I used these:

Koolance VL3N-FG Quick Release Connector Female G1/4
Koolance VL3N-M13B Quick Disconnect Male Barb for ID 13mm (1/2in)

Had to buy elsewhere as couldn't find what I wanted here though...
 
I am after exactly the same for my 7/16 tubing, any chance you would be able to measure the total length of them both connected please Nickolp1794, Also would using 3 lots of these be a bad idea for flow?

barb too barb once joined = 10cm

for flow, maybe, what pump are you using?

your on a D5 same as me, you should be ok, if not just turn it up if possible.
only reason why i said flow is more restricted is because when draining my loop i put a piece of pipe to top rad port and blow too empty it quicker, normally this poses no problem but i had too blow so hard that i ended up looking like a ribena berry!! :D
