Details
The Barrow THKN-3/8-V4 is a compression fitting for soft tubing with a 3/8" (10 mm) inner and 5/8" (16 mm) outer diameter. It screws into any G1/4" port; the tube slides over the barb and the knurled compression ring screws down over it to hold the tube tight. It is machined from H59 brass and finished in black.

Holds the tube tight
A compression fitting has two parts: the base with the barb, which screws into the port, and a compression ring. Slide the ring over the tube, push the tube onto the barb, and screw the ring down onto the base. The ring presses the tube against the barb, so it cannot slip off, and the joint looks clean without a clamp.
Sized for 10/16 mm tubing
Barrow makes this fitting for thick-wall 3/8" soft tubing, that is 3/8" (10 mm) inside and 5/8" (16 mm) outside, one of the most common sizes in PC water cooling. Check both the inner and the outer size of your tube before ordering; the ring is sized for a 16 mm outer diameter.
Brass with a double-protected finish
Barrow uses H59 brass for the body and protects the surface with what it calls a double electroplating process, which it says gives a fine texture that is solid and durable.
Non-slip diamond knurling
The compression ring has a diamond knurl pattern. Barrow says it gives a sure grip when you tighten the ring by hand.
Standard G1/4" connection
The male thread is the standard G1/4" of PC water cooling and is sealed by an O-ring, so the fitting works with blocks, radiators, reservoirs and pumps from other makers as well as Barrow's own.
