EK Quantum Torque STC-10/16 Satin Titanium Compression Fitting

EK-Quantum Torque STC 10/16

EK-Quantum Torque STC 10/16 fittings are EK's new minimalistic 10/16mm (ID/OD) soft-tube compression fittings designed for use with various flexible soft tubing types such as PVC, EPDM, Norprene, silicone or any other type of compatible flexible tube. With a non-intrusive, yet striking look, and with NO added branding at all. They can be complemented by interchangeable aesthetic colour rings, and are an ideal choice for anyone and a perfect match with EK-Quantum series products.

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 cut-outs in the EK Quantum signature shape allowing for the coloured aesthetic ring to be shown. The coloured rings are available in many colours 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 first nickel-plated, followed by the second plating with genuine gold. Both are made of CNC machined brass and the seal is made of quality rubber O-rings. Satin Titanium Quantum Torque series fittings are intentionally not painted on the inside to reduce the level of possible pollutants in the loop.

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. It's highly recommended to use an Allen Key 8mm (purchased separately) to prevent skin damage to the fingertips while installing the fitting. 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!
