Which one better BP or Feser 3/4 OD compression Fitting?
Here is a picture for you, BP on the left, TFC on the right.

I thought they were essentially the same thing. Although BP will be the brand of choice around here...
I heard they are practically the same because feser did a total ripoff of bitspower or something like that. Or maybe bitspower makes them for feser and I have my info mixed up...
That's what i heard too, but let's not start that fight again! ;)Quote:

Get what you like better or go with the cheaper one [prolly Feser]
Nice picture Martin. I just ordered 8 Feser fittings so we'll see how they are.
from that pic the feser clearly has a smaller ID bore
Have the BP's been used? Look a little worn to me...Quote:

Both fittings look nearly identical. Martin you mind throwing the calipers on the inlet and thread outlet?

Has Bitspower or Feser commented about who makes the Feser ones? This reminds me of the Danger Den thread where people who did not know what was going on made all sorts of comments while I sat back and laughed and hinted . . .Just like I hinted at the Thermochill not being in business much longer (because I knew they were going around looking to be sold or at least get capital investors) . . .I have not asked Feser about this issue and I do not have the inside connections with them yet . . .they have been rather slow to warm up to my advances . . .if I ever see them at an event I will have to slip them roofies I guess . . .
So why are the Feser ones cheaper everywhere? :(
I'm waiting for the BP 3/8"-1/2" to come back in stock there, plus the rotary 45s and 90s.Quote:

I sure hope so, I figure my build will have 26 of them in total :DQuote:

Never used the compression fittings, but I like the BP high-flow fittings (not the black sparkle ones, chrome). Huge difference between these Bitspowers and the ones I got with my used Enzotech Sapphire ones (EK or DD I think), the Bitspowers have a much wider ID.
Ditto on business practice.
Koolance Compression Fittings .......... FTW :D
Dtek barbs, FTW! :p:
Fat compressions don't fit on my fuzion and they cost way too much :(
Wow . . .feathers are a flyingQuote:

On an brighter, but slightly off topic note, I had a very good experience with D-Tek the other day. Sent an email asking a question about Fuzion 2 mounting and got a clear,concise, courteous answer back in a flash. I like companies that remember that their customers are people and not just walking wads of cash. In the end it's those companies that end up getting my $$$ ;)
just read through the whole thread.... that's the worst behavior I have ever seen from a company....Quote:

At least I didn't go too far and get the Fes 480, PA120.3... FTW
I think I would prefer to stay out of the entire Feser vs Bitspower conflict unless both sides come to a public setting and decide to air their differences . . .the problem (which none of us consumers see and realize) is that these companies have relationships and history none of us are involved in or aware of (although we do benefit from it). . . .I can say it does not help a company to have a proxy come here and be a jerkoff (I know Danger Den surely gets frustrated when I stick my foot in my mouth which is why I try to be very careful and stay somewhat even-handed which probably makes you guys laugh . . .but then I do not flame companies like EK now do I) . . .
I don't know the Feser people and have only received one email from them telling me about the new radiator . . .Vincent from BP has been great at communicating and supporting me although we have not talked at all about this type of thing and I would not bring it up as my primary dedication is to Danger Den and I do not want to ever go somewhere with a sponsor or contact that might result in a conflict of interest . . .or to put my nose where it does not belong.
I'm planning on using Bitpower's angeled swivels with the 1/2id 3/4od compression fittings on the Fuzion V2. Thankfully I'm in no rush since I still have to fabricate a "frame" to fix two 240 rads to sit in the bottom of my case. This is the one time that procrastination is paying off. :)Quote:

One company making acusations and personal attacks at another company in an open forum..:down:
Then the other company apparently told someone else to do the same thing toward the first company that started it...:down:
Two wrongs:down::down:...not one right..:shrug:...let's let them keep that sort of crap on the side lines out of this forum....
If members can't attack other members, why would it be ok for two vendors?...that's my 2C.
Ok, now enough of the "Let's promote the company attacks by saying I'm basing my buying decision off of that improper conduct", and lets get back to product reviews and discussing criteria and differences, perhaps personal experiences with their use. I know it's not nearly as entertaining, but all we're doing is promoting improper conduct.
Personally I havn't had enough experience using these fittings in running system builds I've later had to take apart, so I really don't have enough practical knowledge to say much. The only apparent difference I can see is the deeper knurls on the BP fittings.
QFT! :rofl:Quote:

I don't think people apply the label for preferences I think they apply it based on how they interpret how people express preferences. . .Quote:

1. Trash another company to try to raise the one's you like

RRR gets close to number 1 but hopefully he will use caution ;)

Dude I used to be an ALienware Fan Boy (I had a total of five of them including three that I used as workstations). My ALX (they are water-cooled) is how I learned about water-cooling (specifically upgrading it many times over).
RRR, I said you should not be offended. But you are the embodiment of a fan boy for MM and that is ok. Maybe we should have light and dark fan boys like Jedi ;) Which side you going to be on? :rofl:

Anyway... move along... back on topic RRR + DB.
I prefer to look of the Feser fittings better and they're cheaper. I'm sure they're almost the same otherwise. The price difference isn't a big deal to me, but I might as well save a dollar per fitting and buy the Feser. I would have bought some BP fittings too if they would have been in stock but no dice yet.
I really have no preference on vendors, I just like a quality product. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
RRR, I'm not fond of labeling either but in all honesty....if the shoe fits....heck, it sure beats what Vapor called you about a month and half ago. ;)
Have not been to Sidewinder site . . .damn! Nice selection . . .:up:Quote:

While I used to work in a plywood mill, my now office hands seem to have trouble with getting these back apart. Maybe I'm just overtightening?
Sidewinders is one of my favorite sites. Since I'm midwest I get shipments really fast, and they have good prices.
With Tygon use pliers to hold the base . . .Quote:

Anybody know if either of these will fit on an Ek Muilti-option res?
You'll need extenders

Let your dollars and Euros flow to whichever company you deem fit. Its your decision and yours only.
To add to that, you should be able to buy whichever brand you prefer to buy for whatever your personal reasons are. It really isn't anyone else's business which brand you buy, and to be verbally insulted and further degraded with unjust characterizations and labels is simply repulsive.
