Thermal Grizzly DeltaMate Fitting ST16 connection, black — mounting adapter for ST16 sockets

Thermal Grizzly DeltaMate Fitting ST16 connection in black is a compact mounting accessory designed to provide a standardized ST16 interface for cooling blocks and custom PC liquid-cooling loops. The fitting serves as a connection point between cooling blocks, tubing or other loop components, offering a consistent mechanical and fluid interface where an ST16 connection is specified. The matte black finish matches many modern cooling components and helps maintain a discreet appearance inside a system chassis.

Advantages

The DeltaMate Fitting provides a reliable, precisely machined ST16 interface that simplifies assembly and replacement of fittings on CPU and GPU coolers. Its standardized geometry ensures compatibility with components that accept ST16 connections and reduces the risk of leaks when mounted correctly. The black surface reduces visible reflections and provides a uniform look with black or dark cooling hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting cooling blocks and water channels that require an ST16 interface
• Custom liquid-cooling loops in desktop PCs
• Replacing worn or damaged fittings on CPU/GPU coolers
• System builds where a low-profile, black fitting is preferred

Key specifications

• Connection standard: ST16 interface
• Color / finish: black, matte appearance
• Application: mounting and interfacing cooling blocks and loop components
• Compatibility: designed for components accepting ST16 connections in PC liquid-cooling systems
• Form factor: compact fitting suitable for tight installation spaces

How to use

Install the DeltaMate Fitting by aligning the ST16 interface with the corresponding port on the cooling block or tubing adaptor and secure according to the component manufacturer's mounting method. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before assembly. When replacing an existing fitting, carefully remove the old part, inspect seals or O-rings, and transfer or renew them as required. Tighten connections to the recommended torque or hand-tight specification to avoid over-stressing threads or seals.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the cooling block or loop components prior to installation and inspect O-rings or sealing elements for wear. Use appropriate thread sealing or gasket materials only if specified by the system manufacturer. After assembly, perform a pressure or leak test before powering the system to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
