I found a local manufacturer that makes some 16mm hose barbs with both G1/4 and G3/8 thread, and I was wondering if those would be good with 1/2" ID ClearFlex tubing? Supposedly it's quite possible to fit the 1/2" ClearFlex on a 16mm barb by heating the tubing in boiling water first and it makes it a really tight fit once it cools, to better prevent leaking. The added ID of the 16mm barbs should help the flow too I'd think.
Unless it's been tried and tested and doesn't improve anything, I think I'll contact the manufacturer to get some info on their retailers.
