Fitting EK Water Blocks Brass Nickel Stainless Steel

EK-Quantum Torque Push-In adapter M14 - Nickel is a push-in fitting created for use exclusively with EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates. It combines a standard G1/4" male thread with an O-ring on one end and a male push-in connector with two O-rings on the opposite end, allowing the adapter to be inserted directly into the distro plate without screwing. The body is CNC-machined brass with nickel plating and a knurled midsection for grip, matching the Quantum Torque family of components.

Advantages

The adapter reduces the effort and mechanical strain required when attaching radiators or other components to Reflection² distribution plates by eliminating the need to screw fittings into place. Its push-in end provides a secure, leak-resistant connection through dual O-rings, while the nickel-plated CNC brass construction offers durability and corrosion resistance in PC liquid cooling loops.

Suitable for

• Use with EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates
• Connecting radiators or tubing to distro plates in custom water-cooling systems
• Configurations requiring quick, tool-free connections on the distro plate side
• Systems using standard G1/4" threaded fittings on the component side

Key specifications

• Thread: G1/4" male (one end) with O-ring seal
• Push-in end: male push-in connector with two O-rings for distro plate
• Material: CNC-machined brass with nickel plating
• Compatibility: Designed exclusively for EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates
• MPN / EAN: 3831109895269

How to use

Ensure the EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plate and mating components are clean and free of debris. Insert the push-in end of the adapter straight into the designated port on the distribution plate until it seats securely by the O-rings. On the opposite end, screw the G1/4" male thread into the corresponding female-threaded component (for example, a radiator or threaded fitting), using appropriate sealing measures if required. Do not force the adapter at an angle to avoid damaging O-rings or the distro plate port.

Recommendations

Check O-rings for damage before installation and replace if necessary. Use only with EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates; the push-in connection is not guaranteed to work with non-compatible distro plates. Tighten the threaded side to a firm, hand-assisted torque—avoid excessive force to prevent thread or component damage. Periodically inspect the connection for leaks after the system is filled and during initial operation.
