BitsPower straight fitting G1/4 male to 16/10 mm tubing — matte black

BitsPower straight fitting G1/4 male to 16/10 mm tubing — matte black is a metal connector designed for liquid cooling systems. It converts a standard G1/4 male thread to accept 16/10 mm soft tubing (16 mm outer diameter, 10 mm inner diameter). The fitting has a straight profile and a matte black finish that reduces reflections and blends with dark-themed builds while providing a sealed, low-profile pathway for coolant between components with G1/4 ports and flexible tubing.

Advantages

This BitsPower straight fitting offers a compact, durable metal construction that resists deformation and provides stable sealing when used with properly sized 16/10 mm soft tubing. The matte black coating is resistant to visible wear and helps maintain a uniform look in system builds. The standardized G1/4 male thread ensures broad compatibility with most water-cooling blocks, radiators, reservoirs, and pump tops that accept G1/4 fittings.

Suitable for

• PC water-cooling loops connecting radiators, blocks, pumps, and reservoirs using 16/10 mm soft tubing
• Custom cooling builds that require a straight, low-profile connection
• Systems where a matte black aesthetic and corrosion-resistant metal fitting are desired

Key specifications

• Thread type: G1/4 male
• Tubing compatibility: 16/10 mm soft tubing (16 mm outer diameter, 10 mm inner diameter)
• Orientation: straight inline fitting
• Material: metal body with matte black finish
• Connection style: compression/press-fit for flexible tubing

How to use

Ensure tubing is cut squarely and the inner diameter matches the fitting's specification before installation. Slide the 16/10 mm soft tubing onto the barbed or compression section of the fitting until it seats fully, then secure as required by your loop design (for example with a retaining ring or clamp if used). Thread the G1/4 male end into the corresponding G1/4 female port by hand to start, then tighten to a snug fit using an appropriate tool; avoid excessive torque to prevent thread or component damage. Perform a pressure or leak test on the assembled loop before long-term operation.

Recommendations

Use with tubing rated for PC liquid cooling and compatible with 16/10 mm dimensions. When reusing fittings, inspect sealing surfaces and tubing for wear, replace any components showing deformation, and follow manufacturer guidelines for torque and leak testing.
