Water cooled setup

[clocker]

I've been served.

All they said was that a percentage of them did leak and that BP would replace them for me. I haven't gotten word from BP as of yet. Should i wait or go with different fittings??

Ask lynx, he's on a roll.

[Detale]

LOL not a roll really more of a bender

[clocker]

Do you have any idea it will take to get the replacements and what other fitting options do you have?

[Detale]

PPCs said it would be a few weeks but Im dealing with BP now. Not many other options other than plastic ones and a few "crystal" but I dont like the look of em



plastic looks kind of cheap too



Oh wait I just saw Koolance has some 45 fittings but from what Iv'e read Koolence doesn't make the best quality stuff

Koolance Fitting Single, Swiveling 45-Degree

Koolance used to be reviled because they used a lot of aluminum (aluminum + copper + warm flowing water= galvanic corrosion) but my understanding is that all their newer stuff is nickel plated brass, which is just fine.
Don't know how the flow rates compare though.

[Acid_death69]

well that's all gay then as if it's put a halt to it! Did they say that they leak straight away or that it's a gradual process and they eventually start leaking? cos i think you should just test them regardless, they might be fine.

@Clocker How would I check something like flow rates??

@AD
They haven't given me any specifics at all. Im waiting to see what BP will say. Sure they may be fine but: a) It will drive me insane checking the rig every 30 seconds forever wondering if today will be the day they leak, Im nuts like that. or b) they could leak when I turn my back on them ruining my rig, neither of these options are acceptable to me one bit, so we are at a standstill until I hear more from them sorry man

There may be info on flowrates for different fittings over at Xtreme.
