EK-Quantum Torque STC-10/16 - Black

The locking ring compresses the tubing wall underneath the ring, preventing 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 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.

EK-Quantum Torque series products received the prestigious iF Design Award. A robust and industrial aesthetic sets the Torque family apart by highlighting the precise manufacturing processes used to create them. In addition, enthusiasts can add a unique color ring to give a personal accent to the fitting line. The Torque family of fittings offers a secure and modular system of connections between liquid cooling components and tubing within a PC. Quantum Torque series products cover angled adapters, rotary and static extenders, splitters, G1/4" plugs, drain valves, fittings, and much more.

The fitting barb and the compression rings are covered with a unique, high-quality satin black finish. Both are made of CNC machined brass, and the seal is made of quality rubber O-rings. Black EK-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 to prevent damage to other liquid cooling products!

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