you would have to add 1/2" ID tube compression fittings to it to get it to work. Compression fittings only work with their specified tubing.
It would probably be hard to find compression fittings that accept 1/2" ID tubing and that also would fit the threading of the block. The small thread diameter, since it's made for 3/8" tube, would probably negate any gain you'd get from 1/2" ID fittings.
