1/2" to 3/8" Barbed Reducer Fitting
The Barrow Mods TBJB3-4 is a brass reducer fitting designed to join 1/2 inch ID soft tubing to 3/8 inch ID soft tubing in a custom liquid cooling loop. Its barbed ends grip the tubing walls directly to create a secure seal without mandatory hose clamps. The fitting enables builders to transition between two common tubing sizes within a single circuit.
For loops mixing tubing diameters
This fitting suits builders who need to connect 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch soft tubing runs in the same loop. It is not intended for rigid tubing, compression fittings, or push-fit systems that require specific locking mechanisms. Users relying solely on clamp-free security should verify barb retention under their specific pump pressure. It does not adapt differing thread standards or connect dissimilar tubing materials.
Dual-barb size transition
The single deciding specification is the dual barb sizing: one end accepts 1/2 inch inner diameter tubing while the other accepts 3/8 inch inner diameter tubing. This exact size pairing determines whether the fitting matches the two tubing sizes present in the loop. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance but the barb geometry dictates compatibility.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the Barrow TBJB3-4 fitting is sealing correctly after installation?
Pressurise the loop and watch the barbed joints; no coolant should escape from the 1/2" or 3/8" connections.
What comes with the TBJB3-4 reducer and what must I supply?
The box contains the brass reducer fitting only; you must provide 1/2" ID and 3/8" ID soft tubing, plus optional hose clamps if desired.
Which version of the TBJB3-4 should I choose for my loop?
Only one version exists — a 1/2" to 3/8" barbed reducer — so select it when your loop mixes those two tubing sizes.
