Question, 1/2" right angle barb

DLoney · 07-April-07, 05:42 AM

Hey everyone. I have a question that can hopefully be answered.
Im rebuilding my past water cooling rig, placing it into a new case, and it seems that I am using a lot more right angle bends than expected, and I ran out of right angle tube intersection joints, I do however have some right angle barbs that are threaded on one sideÃ‚â€¦ Do you think these could work in the others place?

Thanks for any help.

No....screws have one continuous thread. Run down to Lowe's and get some barbs.

P.S. Right angle barbs kill flow rate.

Threads will leak short of knowing how to plug htem but your going to spend more in silicon and time than its worth than just to buy a 90 barb... Also the barbs will kill your flow rate.... if you can get by with just just looped tubing it will be better...
