Соединение EK Water Blocks

The locking ring is compressing the tubing wall underneath the ring, and this prevents the flexible tube from being pulled off the barb of the fitting. The grooves on the outside allow for easier hand tightening. The compression ring has cutouts in the EK Quantum signature shape allowing for the colored aesthetic ring to be shown. The colored rings are available in many colors and are screwed onto the fitting before the compression locking ring. The aesthetic rings are sold separately.

The fitting barb and the compression rings are covered with a unique, high-quality black nickel finish. Both are made of CNC machined brass and the seal is made quality rubber O-rings.

The base fitting surface is smooth and has no adequate gripping surface, but the inside of the barb is socketed with an 8mm hex (Allen) key pattern. Please, be advised not to use excessive force when attaching fitting barbs using Allen Key 8mm in order to prevent damage to other liquid cooling products! We recommend using the EK-Loop Multi Allen Key (6mm, 8mm, 9mm) which is made to break if excessive force is used, thus preventing damage to more costly components of your loop.

These fittings are guaranteed to be compatible with all other EK Water Blocks liquid cooling products.
