FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this rotary adapter?
The Corsair Hydro X Series XF 90° Rotary Fitting Adapter allows you to create a precise 90-degree turn in your custom liquid cooling tube runs, making it easier to route tubing cleanly and avoid kinks, especially in tight spaces.
What size thread does this fitting use?
This fitting uses the standard 1/4" G-thread, which is common on most PC water cooling components.
Can I use this with both hardline and soft tubing?
Yes, this adapter is designed to be compatible with hardline tubing, as well as standard compression and barbed fittings used for soft tubing.
What material is the adapter made from?
The adapter is constructed from high-quality brass with a durable finish.
Does this adapter come individually or in a pack?
This specific product (CX-9055008-WW) is a twin pack, containing two 90° Rotary Adapters.
How do I clean the fitting?
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the inside is flushed when you drain your system.
Can I mix chrome fittings with black fittings in my loop?
While technically possible, mixing finishes may affect the uniform aesthetic of your build. The adapter is available in multiple colors including chrome, black, gold, and white, allowing you to choose a finish that matches your build's theme.
Troubleshooting
Adapter is difficult to screw in.
Ensure you are using a standard 1/4" thread and that the adapter's threads are clean and undamaged. Do not force the fitting; hand-tighten gently. Check that the receiving port is also clean and free of debris.
Minor leak from the fitting connection.
Check that the tubing is fully seated within the fitting (if compression or barbed) or that the O-ring on the 1/4" thread is present and undamaged. Ensure compression collars are tightened correctly. If the leak persists, consider reseating the fitting or checking for damage to the O-ring or threads.
Rotary joint feels stiff or loose.
The rotary joint is designed for smooth movement. If it feels excessively stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the rotation. If it feels loose, it may indicate a manufacturing defect, and the fitting might need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Ensure your custom cooling system is powered off and drained.
Gently screw the adapter's 1/4" thread into the port of your cooling component (e.g., radiator, water block, reservoir).
Hand-tighten only; do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the component.
Connect your tubing to the other end of the adapter, ensuring a secure fit according to the tubing type (hardline, compression, or barbed).
Repeat for any additional adapters needed.
Compatibility:
Thread Size: Compatible with standard 1/4" G-thread fittings.
Tubing Types: Works with hardline tubing, standard compression fittings, and barbed fittings.

Care:
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
