Compression Fittings, How Tight?

1kingd2 · May 26, 2011

Hey Everyone,
I am updating/improving my water loop, and decided to go with compression fittings this time. I was wondering how tight they should be when I screw in the barb part to the water block?

Thank You.

Snug. They do not need to go all the way down.

Play with one before you put the compression in the setup. You can see what it takes to make it tight and be able to pull on the hose before the stuff goes in the case.

This would be beeter in the WC section, but you pretty much have all the info you need.
