PrimoChill PETG with EK Fitting

[Guest]

Hello,

 

I´m planning a water cooling loop and I don´t know which fitting I have to use for PrimoChill Rigid Tube (OD 13mm/ID 10mm)

I have planned to use EK-HDC fittings,these one´s : https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-hdc-fitting-12mm-g1-4-gold

Do you have any experiences with using a combination of these?

Wont work. The fitting is a 12mm OD and the tube a 13mm OD.

no

buy your fittings and tubing from the same manufacturer

Exactly this. Tubing is so cheap, it is pointless to risk leaks because the expensive fittings don't perfectly fit something so common and indistinct (across brands) as petg tubing.

This sucks.I will just use clear tubing from Nanoxia and black EK fittings.

Thanks for your help.

We have PETG tubing that fits the fittings you wanted to use.

Please stop saying this. It's not necessary to do that. As long as the OD and fitting size are the same size in the same imperial or metric size then it doesn't matter who made it.

 

We've been over this, stop spreading misinformation.

if he buys them from the same manufacturer he wont have problems like this one, 13mm vs 12mm

its a much safer option for noobs who dont know the difference between the numbers 12 and 13 since there is 0 chance of a mess up

 

I don't really care about your opinion, so if you have something different to say, make your own post and stop trying to derail the thread and start arguments

it's not a derail nor is it an argument, it's a correction of misinformation. EK fittings take 12mm OD tubing which is readily available from various manufacturers. A leak could still happen from imperfections regardless of the make or model.
