EK®, the premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is introducing the new generation of Quantum Line fittings named EK-Torque. This new generation of fittings is a perfect extension of the Quantum Line, with the replaceable colored rings that stand out but at the same time, perfectly fit in.

EK-Torque

With a non-intrusive yet striking look, and with NO added branding at all, EK-Torque fittings can be complemented by the interchangeable aesthetic color rings. These fittings are an ideal choice for anyone who wants to easily refresh the look of their PC and are a perfect match for the EK-Quantum series products.

The compression ring has cutouts in the EK Quantum signature shape allowing for the colored aesthetic ring to be shown. The colored rings are available in many colors and are screwed onto the fitting before the compression locking ring. The aesthetic rings are sold separately.

The new line of EK’s fittings consists of:

• EK-Torque HTC – Hard Tubing Compression fittings
• EK-Torque STC – Soft Tubing Compression fittings
• EK-Torque Angled – Rotary Angled Adapters 45°, 90° and T
• EK-Torque Colored rings pack for the EK-Torque HTC and STC fittings

EK-Torque HTC fittings

The EK-Torque HTC fittings come in three different sizes that affect the choice of tubing:

• EK-Torque HTC 12 – hard-tube compression fittings designed for use with 12mm OD solid tubing such as Acrylic, PETG, and glass.

The EK-Torque STC fittings come in three different sizes that affect the choice of tubing:

EK-Torque Rotary Angled adapters

The EK-Torque rotary angled adapters have a cylindrical shape and are made to be very sturdy with a very tight revolvable joint in order to avoid flex, thanks to the customer’s feedback. Machined out of a solid piece of brass, they use G1/4″ threads and have 3 variations:

• EK-Torque Angled 90° – revolvable 90° adapter fitting. With one male and one female thread, it is used for easier bends and cleaner tube routing.
• EK-Torque Angled 45° – revolvable 45° adapter fitting. With one male and one female thread, it is used for easier bends and cleaner tube routing.
• EK-Torque Angled T – revolvable T adapter fitting with G1/4″ threads. With one male and two female threads, it can be used for setting up drain ports or for parallel connection between components.

EK-Torque Color Rings Pack (10pcs)

Every pack of colored aesthetic rings consists of 10 separate rings sufficient for 10 EK-Torque fittings. These rings are made of high-quality aluminum and they do not have contact with liquid coolant, so there is no need to worry about mixing metals. They are screwed onto the fitting before the compression ring. They come in 7 colors:

• Nickel
• Red
• Black
• Blue
• Green
• Purple
• Gold
