Hi every one, This is my problem and i need a fast help please since i already ordered my stuff and i need to cancel it if i made any mistake..

My currant cooling lob ruining (Pictures Attached)

- x1 Valve at 1/2" i am using it with my CPU
- x2 Empty valves at 1/4" (I am planing to use it with my new stuff)

My new items which i am planing to add to my currant lob are:

- x1 XSPC RX360 Rad.
- x2 1/4" Thread Barb Fitting for 1/2" ID Tubing
- x1 Primochill 1/2" ID - 3/4" OD (13-19mm) Tubing
- x1 Full cover dd gtx 285 with 1/2" barb.

My problems is clear, i ordered 1/2" ide Tubing to fit my Rad and Vga block, but i forget that i have 1/4" valve to be use with.

1- Should i continue with my order and buy some jointer between the 1/4" and the 1/2" tube?? Like this:

2- Should i cancel me order for the 1/2" tubing/barbs and buy 1/4" one??

3- Any other advice from any expert person in watercooling.

Please Help me!!
Thank you very much.

Buy the reducer and you are fine.

Just replace those 1/4" plastic barbs with 1/2" ones. Shouldn't cost you more than $10 at your local hardware store anyways.

Thank you very much

Local hardware store. You'll want a plastic 1/2" barb. You should be able to unscrew the 1/4" one from it's socket. Take it to the hardware store and find a new fitting that is identical in every way other than the 1/2" barb.

That's what i will do.. But don't you think if i use Metal or Brass barb will be better than the plastic?

You already have two of them, use the ones you bought for your radiator. Unscrew the small plastic barbs from that manifold, and see if you can get the barbs you already have to screw in.
