Waterchill kit

Anyone know the size of the Barbs on these kits?The 1 i have has dodgy push fit connectors! Can these be changed as i have bought some DD 1/2" Tube and would like to use that instead of the 10mm straw they supply for pipe.! This kit uses the Hydor L20 Pump.

Not easy to use ½" ID with the Waterchill stuff. You'd probably have to change all the quick-fit fittings to standard ½" OD barbs. I don't know the thread sizes of the existing fittings or even if they can be removed. Sorry.

They used to use 1/4" BSPT threads on the block fittings, not sure if the newer kit is the same.

Should be 1/4G (BSP) if its recent.

Yeh its fairly recent.By the looks of it i should be able to fit 1/4" to 1/2" barbs
