I have the Swiftech Micro Reservoir and I wanted to put a barb fitting into the fill port hole. I tried using the ones that came with the kit but they were slightly to large. Does anyone know what size fitting I would need to do this?
 
The MCRES Micro?

Is it the V2 one or the older version?

The older one had PG7 standard fittings (something like 12.5mm or...0.49 inches), but the new one has BSPP 1/4" fittings (G1/4).
 
Thanks, it is the older one. I've been searching for PG7 fittings but haven't been able to find any that size. It's weird that they would use two different sizes. :confused:
 
Swiftech used to use weird sizes, as did other campanies. I think it's so they have more of a monopoly on the fittings you can buy for it :D It's always a good practice to buy G1/4 fittings, as these are used by 90% of WC suppliers (and normal plumbing too). PG7 is a rarer standard of threading (12.5mm diameter, 11.3mm central hole, 1.27mm pitch)

I have seen swiftech sell 0.5" fittings, so perhaps it would work with these? (12.5mm is roughly 0.5")
