What pump?

jonwhite · 28 Oct 2013 at 13:49

not sure on the make of the pump, the fitting is 9.2mm overal diamiter (not 9mm)

Do you know the model at least or the type of fitting?

I'm assuming it's a barb?
As for your cpu block, the fittings aren't integrated are they? They're separate barbs/compressions, right?

hi there yes they are both bard, the cpu block the fittings are seperate barb/compressions / screw into the block.

sorry there isnt a model number on it its a second hand one

Could you post a pic of the pump?

I'd like to say just get 13/10mm tubing (and 13/10 barbs/comps on the cpu block) and tighten the hell out of a clamp on there, but that's probably not the best idea

ED: Hang on, that 9.2mm.. Is that measured at the very end of the nozzle or at the widest point of the barb's 'arrowhead'?

9.2 is thw widest part of the fitting,

Well I'm stumped tbh... Sorry fella.

Still, a picture might be handy nonetheless.
