OCUK fatboy 1/2" barbs work perfectly with 7/16" xspc hose.

The barbs that are built into the laing DDC are 3/8" which isn't really compatible. You could get around this by replacing the top on the pump or go for a different pump like the XSPC D5 vario (with front cover or you can get the screwring version and a separate top) or EK DCP 4.0.
