Know before you buy
These fittings are designed for 10/13mm (ID/OD) soft tubing. They are compatible with common materials including PVC, EPDM, Norprene, and silicone.
Yes, the fittings use a standard G1/4 BSPP thread, which is the industry standard for liquid cooling components. They will fit any block, radiator, or reservoir that uses a G1/4 port.
The fittings feature grooves on the outside for easy hand-tightening. If you need more leverage or are working in a tight space, you can also use an 8mm Allen key via the internal installation pattern.
The aesthetic rings allow you to customize the look of your loop by adding color accents that match your build's theme. You can swap these rings out without needing to disconnect the tubing or drain your system.
The compression design features a locking mechanism that secures the tubing between the barb and the compression collar. This creates a tight seal that prevents the tube from pulling off under normal operating pressure.
