BitsPower BP-WTP-C11 computer cooling system part — brass construction, nickel plated finish

BitsPower BP-WTP-C11 is a brass component with a nickel-plated silver finish created for custom liquid cooling loops in desktop PCs. Manufactured to integrate with soft tubing of 8 mm inner diameter (10 mm outer diameter), this metal part offers corrosion resistance and a durable surface treatment suitable for long-term contact with coolant. The design incorporates a high-flow profile and a concealed O-ring seat to ensure reliable sealing while maintaining a compact appearance.

Advantages

The brass construction provides mechanical strength and good thermal stability, while the nickel plating improves corrosion resistance and offers a consistent silver shine that resists wear. The high-flow design minimizes hydraulic resistance in the cooling loop, contributing to stable fluid circulation. A hidden O-ring arrangement reduces exposed sealing surfaces and helps prevent accidental damage during installation or maintenance. Compliance with RoHS standards ensures the part meets common environmental and material safety requirements.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water-cooling loops using soft tubing with 8 mm ID / 10 mm OD
• Replacement or upgrade of metal fittings and small inline parts in liquid cooling systems
• Builds where corrosion resistance and a polished metal appearance are desired

Key specifications

• Material: brass base with nickel/silver plate finish
• Finish: high durability nickel plated, silver shining color
• Tube compatibility: designed for tubing with approximately 8 mm inner diameter, 10 mm outer diameter
• Design features: high-flow profile; concealed O-ring sealing
• Standards: RoHS compliant

How to use

Ensure the cooling loop is drained and depressurized before installing the component. Slide the compatible 8 mm ID / 10 mm OD soft tubing onto the part until it seats against the concealed O-ring, confirming a snug, leak-free fit. Reinstall clamps or retention rings if used in your loop design. After assembly, perform a leak test by filling the loop and running the pump with the system powered off for a recommended period to verify sealing and flow. Periodically inspect the connection points for signs of wear or corrosion and re-tighten fittings as needed following the original manufacturer torque guidance for adjacent fittings.

Recommendations

Use corrosion-inhibiting, manufacturer-recommended coolant and maintain routine coolant changes to preserve both the finish and sealing elements. Avoid aggressive cleaners or abrasive tools on the plated surface. When combining metal parts, consider compatible materials to reduce galvanic corrosion risk.
