Compression fittings what fits what

[dM@n]

1/2 (3/4) compressions from Bitspower does not fit the Danger-Den MC-TDX.

EK Water Blocks EK-NB/SB 5 - Acetal & The Feser Company Fittings 3/8 (1/2) don't fit :/

This must be the right thread to ask this question.

Do anyone know if it's possible to fit the Bitspower Compression fittings together with the Swiftech MICRO-res? Without any mods I mean.

Note to myself: Read the description on the webpage. "The reservoir is now 1/4" BSPP (G1/4) compatible."

ooooh I need to make an update on this, I will work on it tomorrow during my useless physics class (I already know all of phys 1 and 2 haha, I just need the college credits to prove it )

Add BP 7/16 will be nice.

guys stop fighting, SNiiPE_DoGG had the right to do it, as we the XS guys gave you what to put down

right SNiiPE_DoGG, with The BP and TFC the same measument fittings have the same measuments so whatever you have done on the BP do on the TFC and so on

understand?

Hey guys, just some info. The TFC and Bitspower compression fittings are not made by the same manufacturer. They are close but not the same size.
I spoke with Gary last week, regaurding these same problems we are all trying to figure out. "What fits and what does not." Gary spent a great deal of time and effort testing and measureing each fitting he does stock. Although he does not carry every fitting and no Koolance, his list is exact.

I am only trying to be helpful so please don't flame the crap out of me Seems to be alot of fighting about this list.
Last thing, with the Bitspower comp. fittings and the GTZ you need to add an extra washer to be sure it fully compressess, because of counter sunk groove on the GTZ and the counter sunk o-ring on the Bitspower comp. fittings. That is my settup, and what I thought was the fitting tightend down, was actually the metal hitting the top of the block. I had some major leaks and could not figure out why till I read the review of the GTZ from Martin.

Just my 2 cents.

Sniipe....fwiw, I was unable to get Koolance 3/8(1/2) fittings to work on a Fuzion V2 CPU....even my BP 3/8(1/2) are scraping together as I tighten down.

k, and I will try to work with gary's dimensions too.

as for the update, I am sorry it has been so long.... I don't have excel on my big rig ATM and its too tempting to play with solidworks. I will get it done sometime very soon, my apologies for the delay :\

it can but with slightly hassle ..i just got my koolance comp fit 3/8-1/2 fit yesterday...and yes, it is scraping together when i'm put it my Fuzion V1,but after few times, i managed to put the koolance into Fuzion V1...all you have to do is give a slighty pull on which comp fit to opposite direction and go for the second comp fit to put...i can't give any ss now, my cam still borrowed, but i'll try to give pics asap..

[Vapor]

Mine are totally interlocked unfortunately :-/ I had to pull the BPs apart to mount them and they're noticeably smaller.

I guess there's some variability in these products

It's a tight fit but it's work with mine,

[Waterlogged]

Vapor, Boyu,...very odd, you guys are starting to scare me a bit. I'm planning on moving away from my quick-fits and go with Koolance on some of my planned builds, but not if this becomes a problem. I have 1 set of 3/8"x 1/2" here and they fit both the v1 and v2 well enough.

This was a bit of a bad angle but you can still see some of the gap between the fittings. I can take a better pic if needed.



My v1 was a bit closer though, but still didn't touch at all.

[anubis_is_evil]

wow waterlogged, you do have at least a gap between them...

but in my V1 they go really tight, much worse than Boyu i think..i tried to pull them opposite to see if they can create a gap little bit, like you do, but to afraid i will damaged the thread mouth on my v1....or perhaps koolance comp fit sometimes does have a slightly different diameter

[Vapor]

Mine are totally interlocked If I screw one down, I can't get the other down. Boo

Oh well, at least my BP fittings fit (barely) and I don't mind which I use--I prefer the Koolance ones, but have the BPs here for when the Koolances are too big for a block

EDIT, I'd put the 'blame' on the D-Tek tops...the fact that my BP fittings are still grinding together when I fasten makes me think that my D-Tek has a smaller spacing than the blocks of others.

[Waterlogged]

Vapor, do you have any means to accurately measure the nut diameter on the Koolance? They should be 20mm O.D., if they're bigger, I'd suspect they're 3/8" x 5/8".

[Vapor]

I have 8 in use elsewhere in my test loop already (actually the two I tried to put on my D-Tek, since I still have two in the plastic). (so I doubt any are 5/8, or else I'm boned, haha0

All at or just under 20mm.

Measured a spare BP 3/8(1/2) I have here and it's definitely larger at the base (21mm)....sigh....I have no clue why mine weren't working. When I disassemble tomorrow I'll investigate further, maybe I was being too hasty or maybe the natural curvature of the tubing was forcing them toward each other.

I'd really like to be able to keep my fittings consistent through my testing and getting the Koolance fittings to work on the D-Tek would be sweet...esp since they don't have the same ID

Hmm, OK thanks. If they don't fit "upon further review", I'd have to guess it's down to D-Tek injection molding then, not sure why that would be the case though. I have 2 more v1's and a v2, I'll test mine on in that case when I get some time.

[anubis_is_evil]

here's my V1...pretty tight but it work..


and here is a few stuff that works with Koolance Compression Fitting 3/8 ID 1/2 OD

MCW 60 ....fit !


Enzotech SCW REV.A ....fit !


sorry about the dark pics, sniipe...but i guess people can get the picture

EK Mosfets Asus 3a - Koolance Compressions 3/8 (1/2) = Fits nicely

It seems the updates are coming few and far between, I have to go now and I have a lot of work over the coming few days, if anyone else feels they would like to contribute drop me a PM, the excel spreadsheet and the exported image that is loaded in the first post are both hosted on an FTP server, so far Sniipe Dogg and I have been updating it but as I've become less active I'm sure Sniipe dogg won't mind if someone else contributes too

yes indeed, update away.

my second semester here at school is proving more taxing time-wise than I expected, especially because I have been spending more time than usual with my girlfriend .

[Waterlogged]

OK, here's my little update on what I've found out with my FuZions.

My second v2, same as the first one...every thing's perfect.

The v1's were a little different story. I have 1 that is going to be tricky if I use Koolance 3/8 x 1/2 on it and the other one I'm going to have to rule out the use completely. I had some serious touching on the second one I mentioned which I think could be a big problem. Don't get me wrong, the fittings fit both blocks but in reality, this test was just the block and fittings outside a case and without tubing. Throw in those variables and I'm under the impression that I'd wind up throwing something at a wall after a few tries.
