I just found a post last night over in the UK on the bit-tech.net forum which shows a new fitting from DD called "The Perfect Seal." The pic shows a short stubby hose barb with 1/4 BSPP threads on it. However, from the pic it appears that they are not using a standard BSPP hose barb in that you can see the O-ring from the side of the block.
Not sure if they are tapping their blocks for BSPP or some kind of universal thread that will accomodate BSPP and their NPS fittings. I queried DD last night to see when these fittings will be available for sale here in the USA and I am waiting for a reply.
This new hose barb will allow those who go big bore to be able to use a good many more waterblocks and accessories from European companies that use G 1/4 threads.
