Which Koolance Dissconnects

The new Koolance QDC's are nice, QD3 seems to be the one to go for. Looks like Snap-Tite fittings.

If Koolance charge ~£20 per QDC kit I dread to think what bitspower will charge

So will these work with my tubes Koolance QD3 Quick Disconnect No Spill Coupling Male Barb for 1/2" ID (13mm) Tubing : QD3-M13 and obviously the females??

Yes, as I said earlier, just warm up the end of the 7/16 tubing a little then force it over the barb, thats 7/16 ID I'm using in the above picture

I did the same with mine mate. If anything, it was slightly easier to get the tubing on the QDC barb than it was with the compression fittings.

The new revision appears to have brought great improvements to the current design. Bitspowers QDCs look nice much nicer but seem to be using a older style design which Koolance previously used.

Looks so good.

Was just about to post that pic.

Seems to be about £23-£28 in the U.S, i paid around that for each of my koolance sets at the time.

Thx for your help guys, ordered some qd3's

Next question.....

Can you buy stands for a 480 rad, namely the monsta, was gonna get a 240 and hang off the back of my switch, but i'm thinking of a future build so if i can get some sort of stand i may as well just get the 480, i suppose making one is not going to be too hard
