So about a year and a half ago I built my brewstand, and purchases all my camlocks from bargain fittings. I have the typical setup, the 1/2" male type "F" on all my brew kettles, pumps, chiller, etc. I have the female type "C" fitting on all my hoses (4 hoses). Recently I was reading on www.brewhardware.com that they do not carry the type "C" anymore because it is not truly 1/2" dia inside. They now carry the "big C" fitting, which is truly 1/2" inside dia.
So I have an entire system setup to run 1/2" flow, but am realizing I am restricted to 3/8" at the hose fittings (type c). Is this something to consider upgrading to the "big c" just to have true 1/2" flow, will it make that much difference? It will cost around $100 just to replace my hose fittings.
