Plumbing fitting XSPC — brass construction black and blue finish

XSPC 5060175588494 is a compact brass plumbing fitting engineered for reliable fluid routing in liquid cooling systems and small-scale plumbing applications. Machined from brass for strength and corrosion resistance, the fitting is finished in matte black with a contrasting blue accent to match common water-cooling aesthetics. It is sized for common soft tubing and uses a G1/4" threaded connection for compatibility with many PC water-cooling components.

Advantages

The brass construction provides mechanical durability and improved resistance to corrosion compared with many non-metal fittings. The matte black electroplated finish adds surface protection and reduces visible wear, while the blue detail offers a visual cue for line identification. The standard G1/4" thread ensures broad compatibility with radiators, blocks, and valves used in liquid-cooled systems.

Suitable for

• PC water cooling loops and custom liquid-cooling builds
• Small-scale plumbing and fluid routing where a compact metal connector is needed
• Soft tubing with 1/2" (12.7 mm) inner diameter
• Soft tubing with 7/16" (11.1 mm) inner diameter

Key specifications

• Material: brass for strength and corrosion resistance
• Finish: matte black electroplated with blue accent
• Tubing compatibility: 1/2" (12.7 mm) ID and 7/16" (11.1 mm) ID soft tubing
• Thread type: G1/4" threaded connection

How to use

Install the fitting by first ensuring mating threads and tubing sizes match. Hand-start the G1/4" thread into the corresponding port and tighten gently with an appropriate tool to achieve a secure seal without over-torquing. Slide compatible soft tubing onto the barbed or compression section (as used in your system) until fully seated; use clamps or compression rings if required by your tubing type. Verify all connections and perform a pressure or leak test before putting the system into full operation.

Recommendations

Use with compatible soft tubing sizes (1/2" or 7/16" ID) and standard G1/4" threaded components. Avoid excessive torque during installation to prevent thread damage. For best corrosion protection, inspect fittings periodically and replace if plating or sealing surfaces show signs of wear or degradation.
