Fittings for this beautiful res

1/2" OD fittings for a nice snug fit with that tubing.
On another note, it would be best to avoid this resevoir as it is made entirely out of aluminum. In a resevoir situation, this can be particularly bad as there is generally a lot of turbulance in resevoirs, especially with your MCP655 pump. The anodizing on the aluminum could wear off quite quickly in your situation. Stick to plexi (properly sealed), brass/copper, or plastic.

DD has new 1/4" BSP barbs as seen here, you need to call them though they aren't listed yet but they do have them. http://www.dangerden.com/images/fittings/fitting_chart.jpg

That fitting may not work properly in a BSPP thread. That fitting is designed for a block that has a countersink. The Innovablabla reservoirs do not have countersinked threads. Get the stuff you want from McMaster-Carr as the have inch barbs with BSPP threads.
Errr, no they're not. In the pics of a TDX with these new fittings, there is no countersink. I'm assuming they seal just like the high flow fittings DD used to use (Which were a different thread, but same sealing system). It threads in, and the O-Ring seals to the top of the surface with the threads.Top Nurse said:That fitting may not work properly in a BSPP thread.

Cliff notes: DD's new fittings should work.
