I am looking for Metal fittings for my storm and I was wondering if anyone has tried the Danger den high flow fittings.

G ¼, or BSPP, fittings will fit, but may not seal; each must be checked prior to assuming that it will not leak just because they fit together.

Both NPSM and G ¼ (BSPP) are parallel thread and nominally the same size, the principal difference being 18 threads per inch for NPSM and 19 threads per inch for G ¼ (BSPP). Since most male end G ¼ fittings have a short thread length they can generally be engaged in the NPSM threads without difficulty.

The joint seal is effected with an o-ring which for the NPSM barb is in a groove on the waterblock top and compressed by the flange nut barb.
G ¼ fittings have the o-ring captured in a groove under the fitting nut.

G ¼ fittings will seal so long as there is a straight portion under the nut flats sufficient to bring the G ¼ fitting’s o-ring into contact with the bottom of the o-ring groove, a depth of 0.080”.

I think if I load the threads up with teflon tape it should be fine, but I want to just make sure.


Also anyone know where I can find metal fittings for my Thermochill?
 
You might want to try the ek high flow barbs for the storm over at petras, but otherwise I think those dd barbs will also work.
 
they are really nice. It has the initial ridge like the dangerden ones then two smaller ridges to help stop water after a clamp has been put over them.

I just ordered 6 of them.
 
8 dollars to ship 2 of these is kinda pricey.

I was gonna order a Silverstone SST-TJ06B at performance-pcs and they sell the Danger Den fittings as well as the case. Unless anyone knows where I can get the case cheaper than $115.
