D-Tek Fuzion CPU and Compression Fittings

[Polizei]

I think I saw someone's worklog where they tried to use compression fittings on a Fuzion and they didn't fit. It was one regular barb and one compression fitting. I think they were using 1/2" ID tubing though, so that might make a difference.

I was thinking about 3/8" tubing and compression fittings for a loop. I know, boo hiss hiss as far as 3/8" tubing, but the redeeming factors = black Tygon with Bitspower compression fittings.

Could I get two 3/8" ID (1/2" OD) tubing compression fittings onto a Fuzion CPU block?

I think these are 3/8 koolance fittings via "atomman"

wow, what the hell is that? !!

Yes, I can confirm that Koolance 3/8id x 1/2od do fit.
There's only 1mm gap at best.

Ah, looks great. That's just what I want to do, minus the whole Skulltrail thing.

Koolance fittings work out to be about $1 cheaper than Bitspower too... hmm...

the black nickel plating looks nice too

I'll have a pair of Bitspower fittings same specs. of course in a couple of days.

I do find the Koolance compression fittings are difficult to tighten, and they easily come loose.
Koolance fittings are not brightly chrome plated, It's more like a gun metal finish.

You'll notice the Bitspower have the knurled section and I'm hoping this feature will keep them hand tight.

Good Luck

nah disrupt even said they were a pita to install.

The koolances arent any different. ive been using them on persephone:



What i love about it is that its a perfect fit for the MPC universal. The round edges match perfectly to the 13mm compression.


The D-tek wont take 13mm. He's using 10mm compression or 3/8. Personally i dont like 3/8ths (not because of performance reasons).
Its a lot more costly to me then 7/16. I usually just buy 50feet and it usually lasts me the entire year if not more.

Yes i do a lot of tinkering on my systems.

Knurled section? Where?

I gave this a try yesterday and couldn't get the 3/8" Bitspower compression fittings (for 3/8" ID, 5/8" OD tubing) to fit on either the FuZion or the FuZion v2.

i already knew that about the v1 but not about the v2

Thanks for the thread. Plain plastic..what's a better contact... it might help with only 1-2C or none.

Folks ... is it true that the Bitspower 3/8 compression fittings doesn't fit on a D-Tek Fuzion v1 block ?

I know the 1/2 ones doesn't fit but the 3/8 ..........

[japanese]

it doesn't fit, you can only use it v2!!!

Foi por essas e por outras é que mandei vir as koolance 3/8 agora é só esperar

Petra's would be an authoritative "I have it on the shelf" answer

[lowfat]

the majority of the koolance 3/8ID 1/2OD fittings will work. I have 2 sets of barbs that would not fit though. I've been told they can vary in size from 1 - 2 mm.
