EK-Quantum Torque Rotary STC-10/16 - Black fittings are EK's new premium 10/16mm (ID/OD) soft-tube compression fittings with a rotary joint on the threaded side. They are designed for use with various flexible soft tubing types such as PVC, EPDM, Norprene, silicone, or any other compatible flexible tube. The rotary joint enables you to attach the fitting to the tube, securely fasten the compression ring, and install the entire assembly into a G1/4" port inside your PC.
With a non-intrusive yet striking look and no added branding, these fittings can be enhanced by interchangeable aesthetic color rings. They are an ideal choice for anyone and perfectly complement the EK-Quantum series products.
The locking ring compresses the tubing wall underneath, preventing the flexible tube from being pulled off the fitting's barb. Grooves on the exterior allow for easier hand tightening, while the compression ring features cutouts in the signature EK Quantum shape to showcase the colored aesthetic ring. Please note that the aesthetic rings are sold separately.
The prestigious iF Design Award has been granted to EK-Quantum Torque series products. With their robust and industrial aesthetic, the Torque family emphasizes the precision manufacturing processes employed in their creation. Enthusiasts can personalize the fitting line by adding a unique color ring. The Torque fittings provide a secure and modular system for connecting liquid cooling components and tubing within a PC, including angled adapters, rotary and static extenders, splitters, G1/4" plugs, drain valves, fittings, and more.
The fitting barb and compression rings feature a unique, high-quality satin black finish. Both components are made of CNC machined brass, and the seal is crafted with top-quality rubber O-rings. The Black EK-Quantum Torque series fittings intentionally lack paint on the inside to reduce potential pollutants in the loop.
While the base fitting surface is smooth and lacks a suitable gripping area, the barb's interior is socketed with an 8mm hex Allen key pattern. We highly recommend using a separately purchased Allen Key 8mm or EK-Loop Multi Allen Key during installation to prevent fingertip skin damage. Please exercise caution and avoid applying excessive force when attaching fitting barbs using the Allen Key 8mm to prevent damage to other liquid cooling products.
These fittings are guaranteed to be compatible with all other EK Water Blocks liquid cooling products.
