FAQs
What type of tubing do these fittings work with?
These fittings are specifically designed for 14mm outer diameter (OD) hardline tubing. They are not compatible with soft tubing or other sizes of hardline tubing.
Are these fittings compatible with all radiators and water blocks?
Yes, they feature standard G1/4” BSPP threads, which are the universal standard for PC water cooling components, including most radiators, CPU blocks, and GPU blocks.
How many fittings are included in a pack?
Each pack contains four (4) XF Hardline 14mm fittings.
Can I use these fittings with 12mm tubing?
No, these fittings are exclusively for 14mm OD hardline tubing. Corsair offers other fittings for 12mm tubing.
What is the material of the fittings?
The fittings are constructed from high-quality brass with a durable chrome finish.
How should I clean these fittings?
Clean the fittings with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Do I need any special tools to install these fittings?
While not strictly required for the fitting itself, you will need tools for cutting and potentially bending the hardline tubing. A tubing cutter and a heat gun with bending mandrels are commonly used.
Troubleshooting
Fitting leak
Ensure the hardline tubing is fully seated against the inner O-ring. Verify the compression collar is tightened sufficiently (but not overtightened). Check the O-rings for damage or debris.
Tubing won't insert fully
Confirm you are using 14mm OD hardline tubing. Check if the end of the tubing is damaged or deformed. Ensure there is no obstruction inside the fitting.
Difficulty tightening compression collar
Ensure the threads on the fitting body and collar are clean and free of debris. Do not force the collar; if resistance is met, re-align and try again.
