FAQs
What types of tubing can I use with this Y-splitter?
This Y-splitter is compatible with hardline, compression, and barbed tubing types, offering broad flexibility for your custom cooling loop.
What is the thread size for connecting this fitting?
The fitting utilizes the standard 1/4" connecting thread, which is common across most PC water cooling components.
Can I use this fitting with any liquid cooling fluid?
Yes, this fitting is designed to work with standard PC liquid cooling fluids.
Does the rotary function allow for full 360-degree rotation?
The rotary function allows for flexible angling of the connected tubing, aiding in routing and aesthetics. Specific rotation degrees may vary based on connected components.
How do I ensure a leak-free connection?
Proper installation is key. Ensure tubing is fully inserted and secured according to its type (e.g., tightening compression collars, using clamps for barbed fittings). Double-check that the 1/4" threads are clean and securely seated.
What material is the Y-splitter made of?
The Y-splitter is constructed from high-quality brass for durability.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, CORSAIR offers this fitting in other colors, such as silver, chrome, gold, and white, to match different build themes.
Troubleshooting
Leak detected at the fitting connection
Ensure the tubing is fully seated and the compression collar (if applicable) is tightened securely. For barbed fittings, verify clamps are properly installed. Check the O-rings on the 1/4" threads for damage and ensure the fitting is screwed in straight.
Difficulty connecting tubing
Verify that you are using the correct type of tubing (hardline, compression, or barbed) compatible with the fitting's port. For hardline tubing, ensure the end is cut cleanly and deburred. For compression fittings, ensure the collar is properly aligned and threaded.
Fitting does not seal properly
Inspect the 1/4" threads for any debris or damage. Ensure any sealing washer or O-ring (if applicable to the component it's being screwed into) is present and intact. Hand-tighten firmly, but avoid over-tightening which can damage threads.
