Each fitting is machined from brass with a chrome finish, designed to grip 16mm outer diameter and 10mm inner diameter tubing. The G1/4" thread fits standard water cooling components, and the rotatable top allows for easy installation in tight spaces. This set includes six fittings, enough for a CPU block, radiator, and pump/reservoir combo.

Good to know

These fittings are compatible with any soft tubing that matches the 16/10mm dimensions. Ensure tubing ends are cut squarely and pushed fully into the fitting before tightening the compression ring. No additional sealant is needed; the EPDM O-rings provide a reliable seal. For best results, hand-tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening with tools.
