QDC spec please :)

Would one of you gentlemen kindly spec me an L-shaped Koolance QDC?

I'm using 7/16 ID, 5/8 OD tubing and would like the longer straight section of the QDC to have a G1/4 thread and for there to be a compression fitting on the short end of the L.

I'm getting all kinds of confusion when looking at the list, so a little help would be grand.
Cheers

Would I be ok to stretch 11.1mm ID over this, using a little warm water if necessary?

No since it uses a compression fitting meaning it has to match the ID & OD of the tubing.
You will have to go for the VL3N Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Female Angle Barb for ID 13mm (1/2in) & VL3N Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling Male, Threaded G 1/4 BSPP. Neither of them are on OCUK.

Cheers.
So the tube wall thickness would be the problem with those?

I'll try to find the ones you mentioned.

Nope, wall thickness doesn't really matter with barbs, just dip the tubing in warm water all force it on, don't forget about clips.

Sorry, I meant with the compression fitting.

Btw, Koolance charges ridiculous shipping from the states.
I'm probably gonna go with plan B and relocate the QDC and have a straight fitting with the barb.

Thanks for your help.
