Torque fixing ring EK Water Blocks EK-Quantum Torque HDC Black 1/4 inch

EK-Quantum Torque HTC 14 fittings are minimalistic 14 mm hard-tube compression fittings for solid tubing such as acrylic and PETG. They feature a clean, unbranded exterior, interchangeable aesthetic color rings, and are compatible with EK-Quantum series components. The locking ring compresses a rubber gasket to prevent the solid tube from being pulled out, while external grooves allow easier hand tightening. Colored rings are sold separately and are fitted onto the body before the compression locking ring.

Advantages

The design offers a non-intrusive appearance without visible branding and a compact 14 mm profile suitable for tight layouts. The compression mechanism with an internal rubber gasket ensures a secure seal for hard tubing, and the external grooves improve grip for hand installation. Interchangeable aesthetic rings allow visual customization while maintaining full compatibility with EK-Quantum products.

Suitable for

• Custom PC liquid cooling loops using 14 mm hard tubing (Acrylic, PETG)
• Builds requiring a minimal, unbranded fitting appearance
• Systems where easy hand-tightening and secure tube retention are needed

Key specifications

• Fitting type: 14 mm hard-tube compression fitting
• Compatibility: solid tubing (Acrylic, PETG)
• Locking: compression ring compressing internal rubber gasket
• Finish: black (aesthetic colored rings sold separately)
• MPN / EAN: 3831109815946

How to use

Slide a compatible aesthetic ring onto the fitting body if desired, then place the prepared 14 mm hard tube into the fitting until it seats against the internal stop. Screw the compression locking ring onto the body and hand-tighten using the external grooves for grip. Ensure the rubber gasket is compressed evenly to form a seal and verify the tube is retained securely. Do not overtighten beyond firm hand torque.

Recommendations

Use with properly cut, deburred 14 mm acrylic or PETG tubing and install aesthetic rings before the compression ring. Check the seal after initial fill and pressure cycle; re-tighten by hand if slight leakage occurs. Colored rings are sold separately and should match the fitting size and thread specifications.
