Can anyone rate the primochill Typhoon III?

It has the 3/8's and the allen screws, I never have worked with acrylic before and I was worried about over tightening, so I did slightly over flush then tightened again when it leaked cause I thought it was not well seated. Same with the inlet ports, those were a little weird, when tight one side of the thread would be in slightly more flush while the other side left more room for the O-ring and it was not completely flush. It was like it wasn't going all the way in.. I am not completely sure.

I am glad you have 2000 units in service with out issues, that means my next one will be spot on..
Side note, why isn't there directions with the unit?

If your seeing threads in one side and not on the other (in other words the fitting is not flat) when your putting the compression fitting in then you might have cross threaded it. When you start a screw or fitting if it feels a bit tight or "weird" for want of a better word, don't keep going. Back it out and try again.

For the mounting plate, once the plate that holds the pump in has touched the back of the T3 stop. If you continue tightening the screw acts just like a screw jack and will apply a lot of pressure to the insert.

The no directions is mostly because I am lazy sadly
That and I can't say no to people with "little projects" lol. Brian at PrimoChill says he has gotten tired of waiting on me and has put somebody on that job. We shall see.

Not quite at 2000 yet but almost, and there have been SOME issues of course. The bonding band, short supply, the ethylene glycol and alcohol issues, the scratches from the mold etc. As far as I know (and I don't get to see any official information of course) but there were about 40-50 RMA's out of the first 1K units and I am hoping less on the second thousand since we took over post. Even if we don't do better then the other shops did on post production (and we do) and there is another 50 RMA's on the second thousand what is that...5% or less? Not perfect of course but pretty good IMHO.

It truly truly was not cross threaded, the difference from the top to the bottom was very small but as we all know that is enough for water to pass, I wish I had a picture when it was out. I even just read a thread about an hour ago where someone said something as well... let me see if I can find it once again.
