What customers say
Customers highly regard EK Quantum Torque HDC 14 fittings for their exceptional build quality and striking aesthetic design. The robust brass construction features a flawless, scratch resistant matte black finish, appealing to enthusiasts focused on premium looks.

Know before you buy
Yes, these fittings are designed to work with any 14mm outer diameter hard tubing, including Acrylic, PETG, copper, brass, and stainless steel.
While the external grooves allow for hand-tightening, we strongly recommend using a 9mm Allen key. This ensures a secure seal and prevents potential damage to the fitting or your components during installation.
Yes, the aesthetic rings are interchangeable. You can purchase separate color-coded rings from the EK-Quantum Torque series to match your specific build theme.
No, the interior of the fitting is left unpainted to ensure that no paint flakes or contaminants enter your liquid cooling loop, keeping your system clean and reliable.
These fittings use a standard G1/4 BSP thread, which is the industry-standard size for almost all custom liquid cooling components, including radiators, blocks, and pumps.
