This fitting is designed for soft tubing with a 10mm inner diameter (ID) and a 16mm outer diameter (OD).
No, this fitting is specifically designed for soft tubing. Hard tubing requires different types of fittings.
No, the aesthetic rings are sold separately. You can purchase them in various colors to customize the look of your build.
The fitting features a standard G1/4" thread, compatible with most PC liquid cooling components.
The compression ring has grooves for hand tightening. For a more secure fit, you can use a 1/4" hex key, but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
The locking ring compresses the rubber gasket, creating a seal and preventing the soft tubing from being accidentally pulled out of the fitting.
The fitting is typically made of brass with a Nickel finish for durability and aesthetics.
Ensure the tubing is fully seated on the barb and the compression ring is tightened evenly and firmly. Check the rubber gasket for damage. Ensure the tubing isn't cut at an angle.
Slightly moisten the end of the tubing with distilled water or a non-corrosive lubricant. Ensure the tubing is not old or hardened.
Verify you are using the correct tubing size (10/16mm). Check for any debris on the threads or in the fitting.
Ensure you are using EK-Quantum series aesthetic rings designed for this fitting type and that they are correctly aligned before screwing on the compression ring.
