s10man69 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Alrighty y'all, I need a huge favor. If anyone here has 6-8 extra CPU/VGA waterblock barbs for the ThermalTake Waterblocks, I need them fast, as I bought a used kit, and the guy kept those connectors I guess. So, I need some for the CPU Block and the VGA Block, as well as 2 for the Radiator, and probably 2 more for another Rad that I have.. Thanks, and I'm needing these soon, as my computer is SOL until I find some of these. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 what do the connectors look like...?... some times you can find those type of connector at Home Depot or Menards....I know the Menards by my house carries a whole slew of cleartubing and connectors...

s10man69 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Really? Which one do you live by, the one in Elkhart, or Main St. Mishawaka? BTW, dr...If you're good with metal, I'm going to be building my own case...Wanna help? It's for my watercooling setup, so I wanted to make a custom box, along with custom mounts for everything, so I wouldn't have to deal with the crappy pc cases HDD bays, and . like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_ski Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Since no one here has been able to help you out, let's see if I can give it a shot. Are you looking for these? http://www.xoxide.com/fiandcl.html http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ind...5b039c95ad8c01d http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ind...5b039c95ad8c01d Or do you just need clamps and things like 1/4" NPT to 1/4" hose barbs? Thess are the things that you can find at your local home improvement store, as dr_bowtie suggested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
s10man69 Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 What I need is the Barbs for the Waterblocks, that screw into the waterblocks themselves, providing me with 3/8" hose connectors to the blocks.. Thanks btw t_ski! BTW, what's NPT for..National Pipe Thread? That's what google said anyways, and what part is NPT? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3stars Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 N.P.T(national pipe thread) is the standard for the pitch/thread per inch on the barb for your water block. http://www.wizdforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2606 these guys will be able to help yu to get the right fitting conectors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_ski Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 NPT are the threaded part are the fitting, if the fitting uses NPT standard of course. The new Swiftech and DD parts use G 1/4" fittings, which are slightly off. Are we talking about fittings like the one here: If that's the case, then they probably are NPT. I would suggest taking them down to Home Depot and trying a few fittings on the block. You are probably looking at 1/8" NPT. However, since I don't have anything the reference by, they might be even smaller than that. If that's the case, you may have to go directly to Tt, or at least a specialty pump supply store...

p0tter Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Why not contact Thermaltake and purchase them directly from them? I would be careful trying to get a quick solution, you may damage the blocks or rad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
s10man69 Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I did...but each barb is 2 bucks...So I figured that someone would have them leftover, if they happened to use the 1/4" ones, since it came with both... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
