Compression Fitting Bitspower G1/4 inch Male to 16/11 mm Straight — black matte

Bitspower Compression Fitting G1/4" Male to 16/11 mm Straight in black matte is a straight connector designed for liquid cooling systems. It converts a standard G1/4" port to accept tubing with a 16 mm outer diameter and 11 mm inner diameter. The fitting is finished in a durable black matte coating and uses a compression mechanism to secure rigid or flexible tubing, providing a leak-resistant connection for custom water-cooling loops and component-to-component links.

Advantages

The compression design creates a reliable seal without adhesives or complex tools, enabling straightforward installation and removal. Its straight form factor minimizes flow disruption and fits parallel runs or tight assembly spaces. The black matte finish resists fingerprints and blends with dark-themed builds, while metal construction ensures mechanical strength and long-term durability in cooling loops.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16/11 mm rigid or flexible tubing to G1/4" ports on radiators, pumps, reservoirs, and water blocks
• Custom PC water-cooling loops requiring straight fittings with a clean, low-profile appearance
• Repairs or upgrades where a secure, compression-style connection is preferred over push-fit or barb fittings

Key specifications

• Thread type: G1/4" male to receive a standard G1/4" female port
• Tubing compatibility: 16 mm outer diameter / 11 mm inner diameter
• Orientation: straight inline fitting
• Finish: black matte
• Connection type: compression-style seal for rigid or flexible tubing
• Material considerations: metal construction for mechanical strength (avoid exposure to incompatible fluids)

How to use

Prepare the tubing end by cutting squarely and removing burrs to ensure an even seal. Slide the compression collar and any included ferrule onto the tubing, then insert the tubing fully into the fitting body until it seats. Tighten the compression collar by hand and then secure using an appropriate tool if required to achieve a leak-resistant fit; avoid over-tightening which can deform tubing or threads. Install the male thread into the G1/4" female port and tighten to a snug fit while maintaining the correct alignment of the tubing.

Recommendations

Verify tubing dimensions (16/11 mm) before installation and test the loop at low pressure first. Use compatible coolant and perform a leak test for several hours prior to regular operation. When assembling multiple fittings, avoid excessive torque and check connections periodically for signs of loosening or wear.
