Gold finish: the fitting barb and the compression rings are first nickel-plated, followed by the second plating with genuine gold. Both are made of CNC machined brass and the seal is made of quality rubber O-rings.

EK-Quantum Torque series products received the prestigious iF Design Award. A robust and industrial aesthetic sets the Torque family apart by highlighting the precise manufacturing processes used to create them. In addition, enthusiasts can add a unique color ring to give a personal accent to the fitting line. The Torque family of fittings offers a secure and modular system of connections between liquid cooling components and tubing within a PC. Quantum Torque series products cover angled adapters, rotary and static extenders, splitters, G1/4" plugs, drain valves, fittings, and much more.

Satin Titanium finish: the fitting barb and the compression rings are covered with a unique, high-quality satin silver finish. Both are made of CNC machined brass and the seal is made quality rubber O-rings. Black and Satin Titanium Quantum Torque series fittings are intentionally not painted on the inside to reduce the level of possible pollutants in the loop.

The base fitting surface is smooth and has no adequate gripping surface, but the inside of the barb is socketed with a 8mm hex Allen key pattern. It's highly recommended to use an Allen Key 8mm (purchased separately) to prevent skin damage to the fingertips while installing the fitting. Please, be advised not to use excessive force when attaching fitting barbs using Allen Key 8mm in order to prevent damage to other liquid cooling products!
