Fitting EK Water Blocks Brass Nickel Stainless Steel

The EK-Quantum Torque Push-In adapter M 14 - Black Nickel is a push-in fitting specifically designed for use with EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates. It features a G1/4" male thread with an o-ring on one end, a knurled midsection for grip, and a male push-in connector with two o-rings on the other end that inserts directly into the distribution plate without the need to screw it in. The adapter is CNC-machined from brass and plated in black nickel.

Advantages

This adapter simplifies connecting radiators and other loop components to Reflection² distribution plates by eliminating the need to fully screw fittings into place. The push-in design reduces installation effort and mechanical strain on the distribution plate fittings while the knurled midsection provides a secure grip during handling. Brass construction with black nickel plating offers corrosion resistance and a consistent finish.

Suitable for

• Connecting radiators to EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates
• Integrating components in custom water-cooling loops that use Reflection² distro plates
• Installations requiring quick, tool-free connection to distribution plates

Key specifications

• Thread type: G1/4" male with o-ring seal
• Push-in connector with two o-rings for direct insertion into distro plate
• Material: CNC-machined brass
• Finish: black nickel plating
• Midsection: knurled surface for improved grip

How to use

Ensure the EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plate port is clean and undamaged. Screw the G1/4" male threaded end into compatible components where required, making sure the o-ring seats properly to prevent leaks. Insert the push-in end directly into the distribution plate port until it clicks or seats firmly; the dual o-rings provide the seal. Use the knurled section to grip the adapter during installation or removal.

Recommendations

Use with EK-Quantum Reflection² distribution plates only. Inspect o-rings for damage before installation and replace them if worn. Hand-tighten threaded connections to avoid over-torquing; avoid using tools on the push-in section. Periodically check fittings for leaks after initial fill and during routine maintenance.
