EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, unveils its latest product, the EK-Quantum Torque Rotary STC-10/16 – Black. Meticulously crafted with precision, these premium soft-tube compression fittings are specifically engineered to accommodate a wide range of flexible tubing types, including PVC, EPDM, Norprene, silicone, and other compatible options. What separates these new fittings is that they feature a rotary joint on the threaded side, enabling you to attach the fitting to the tube, securely fasten the compression ring, and then install the entire assembly into a G1/4″ port inside your PC.
This exceptional feature makes the installation process easier and more user-friendly. The new EK-Quantum Torque Rotary STC fitting supports the 10/16mm (ID/OD) soft tubing.
Secure Connection
The fitting’s locking ring compresses the tubing wall beneath it, ensuring that the flexible tube remains securely attached to the fitting’s barb without the risk of being pulled off. The grooves on the exterior of the fitting facilitate easier hand tightening. The compression ring features EK Quantum’s signature cutouts, allowing the colored aesthetic ring to be prominently displayed. For further customization, interchangeable aesthetic color rings can be added, making these fittings a perfect match for EK-Quantum series products.
Award-Winning Design
The EK-Quantum Torque product series is a proud holder of the esteemed iF Design Award. Characterized by robust, industrial, yet sleek aesthetics, the Torque family stands out by showcasing the precision manufacturing processes employed in their manufacturing. The Torque fittings form a secure and modular system for connecting liquid cooling components and tubing within a PC. The Quantum Torque series encompasses angled adapters, rotary and static extenders, splitters, G1/4″ plugs, drain valves, fittings, and more.
Satin Black Coating
The fitting barb and compression rings feature a distinctive and high-quality satin black coating finish. Both components are machined from CNC brass, and the seal is made with top-grade rubber O-rings. The black EK-Quantum Torque series fittings are intentionally left unpainted on the inside to minimize the presence of potential contaminants in the loop.
Essential Tool: Allen Key 8mm
The fitting base has a smooth surface and lacks an adequate gripping covering. However, the inside of the barb features an 8mm hex Allen key pattern. When attaching the fitting onto the tube during installation, it is highly recommended to use a separately purchased Allen Key 8mm or EK-Loop Multi Allen Key. The Allen key is used to hold the fitting in place while you screw in the compression ring.
