well, I went from 18mm to -10 male, and from there you can get to barb..
but not as easily as I thought.

I searched for about 10 minues trying to find a way to go from male -10
to male 3/8" barb in one shot and couldn't find anything.. SO, you
_could_ get the following:


18x1.5 male to -10 male adapter
-10 female coupler
-10 male to whatever NPT (1/2" maybe?).
(1/2"?) NPT female to 3/8" barb (could get this from home depot)

I'm not even sure if there is enough room in there for all of that
crap.  If you have to stick with the barb fittings I'd be looking to
make some kind of adapter myself to do it in one shot.. maybe buy an
18mm plug (you could even use a bolt if you had to) then drill it, and
use a 1/2" pipe tap (effectively making a bushing reducer/adapter out of
it) so you can then just get a 1/2" male to 3/8 barb adapter.


Hope that helps..
