Know before you buy
These fittings are specifically engineered for 13mm outer diameter hard tubing. They will not provide a secure, watertight seal if used with tubing of a different diameter.
No special tools are required. The knurled ring is designed to provide a secure grip, allowing you to tighten the fitting firmly by hand.
Yes, these fittings use a standard G1/4 thread, which is the industry standard for almost all custom water cooling blocks, radiators, and reservoirs.
The knurled surface provides extra texture and grip, which makes it significantly easier to tighten or loosen the fitting in tight spaces within your PC case where a wrench might not fit.
While the chrome finish provides a premium, reflective look for your build, it also adds a layer of durability to the construction, helping the fittings resist wear and corrosion over time.
