Fitting help

[Tyranie909]

Ok guys I am using Bitspower compression fittings for 1/2" ID and 3/4" OD tubing. My problem is that the outside of the compression fitting is too big keeps me from screwing it onto the top of my EK GPU block. Can anyone point me to a black fitting that will fix this or a way around this problem?

*** Oh and on a side note, what is with the new naming system they use?
Fitting link (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=59_346_393_934) They call them HFCC4, 5, 6, ect.

Are the threads not g 1/4? If not they wont fit into the blocks without an adapter.. every fitting should be g 1/4 which is what that hole on your EK block is..

You need 2 offsets or 45 etc to spread the fitting apart . just get 2 45 ( with rotary ) and install your fitting on those.

The threads aren't the problem, the fittins just lack long enough threads to not hit the video card. Looking for some compression fittings with longer threads of some kinds of way to lengthen them.

Yea I can use a rotary fitting for the 90 bend, but Since these are in SLI it needs to be a strait fitting to connect the cards.

I have the same problem with my BP true silver cc5s.
they are very wide and don't fit side by side in a lot of blocks.

best way to do it is either with a 45/90 or an extension

The CCx number is the size of the compression ring, ie: it is relevant to the thickness of your tube.
eg: CC5 is for 1/2 ID x 3/4OD with a 1/8 wall. the cc5 refers to the 1/8th.

sounds like you need an SLI connector

If you are talking about the TOP of a gpu, u will need a small extension or a temp sensor to lift the comp fitting above the actual circuit board of the gpu.
I used one of these :D

Thanks for the help. Found what i needed :P. Going to get a hand full of THESE (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_346_393_616&products_id=26457) . Hoping they are a little thinner around than the ones i have so they will fit.
