So, I was gonna tare down my PC and install some hardline tubing, I got the 16/13 Alphacool tubing, and 16mm Alphacool fittings and decided to check the fit before I started..
Inserting the tube into the fitting, it wont go past the O-ring, and once the O-ring is on the tube, the fastener wont go past the O-ring on the tube, I headed to youtube to see what I could find,
all of the videos I seen the tube just slips right in, the compression cap slides right over the O-ring and bango bongo it's done...
So I break out my trusty caliper, and the tubing OD is .631 or 16.0274mm.
So my question, am I just a wimp or do these require a metric crap ton of force to get in there?? And should I put a small bevel on the outside??
