    Angry Rotary Fitting leaking!! Suggestions needed.

    So yes, A rotary has started leaking. Didn't notice till I opened the case to take a look and found the liquid level really low. I panicked and wiped off the dry dye surrounding the leak so it doesn't seem as bad as it was. Thankfully, it's leaking on the outer side of the fitting instead of the side facing the card.









    Those are Feser 9017s aka 8mm ID, 11m OD 90 degree rotaries (1/4" Thread Rotary Right Angle Compression Fitting for 8mm ID - 11mm OD Tubing 4 Pack : Feser)

    Apparently, it's leaking from both the G1/4 thread area and the rotary portion. Ironically, this is a fitting I would least expect to leak as it's in a rather 'slack' part of the loop.


    (yes, I use multiple tubing types with Feser one black. Not recommended but no coagulation though )




    Solutions solutions. I definitely cannot use a straight 1/4" barb there.
    There simply isn't enough space.


    So, do I get another pack of Feser 9017s? (aftr all, the 7 out of 8 fittings still work fine.)

    or do I get another 90 degree rotary? The enzotech ones?

    It's not a compression though. but it looks less likely to develop the same problem?

    Also, I can't get any of these here so I'll need to ship it from the US or UK again. Will need to get more 1/4" tubing as well at the same time. Tygon B-44-4X sounds good? Soft enough unlike the damned silver tubing?

    Thanks

    (P.S I'm running an OCed QX6700 and OCed 5870 on a single 120mm feser rad!!!!)












    Just joking. Its actually 2 X 120mm. the other is outside
