Can BP's 1/2"-3/4" Compression fit onto Heatkiller 3.0?

[froze]

As above..
Can i use 3/4" compression on the Heatkiller? Perfect fit?

[RedRaider]

Don't know yet, I believe well need BP Rotary 45's..;)

[alejo]

I don't think even BP 3/8 ID 1/2OD fit. I tried translating this page:

but the translation through babelfish was lacking...

Maybe HESmelaugh or Bundy can you give us the lowdown?

Whats the diameter of the bitspower compression fittings?

If you can give me this measurement I'll let you know this afternoon when I get home.

From Jabtech's site.
OD of fitting (Knurled part) 1" / 25.4mm

Sidewinder says
26mm total width

If 25mm is the case then no, they won't fit. Not without a 45 anyway.

The holes are ~11mm and they are spaced only ~9mm apart.

The maximum fitting diameter supported, without the use of a 45, is ~15mm.

So that means that technically, 5/8'' OD tubing is the largest you can do. 3/4''OD being too big. Though I suppose, the tubing being flexible, you could squish it on the barbs.

I am using 3/4" sleeved tubing and it's slightly snug. Still well within operating spec.

[Eternalightwith]

Isn't 3/4'' = 19 mm?
How can that be if you said 15mm max?
:p

As I recall, Watercool stated that the threads will accomodate fittings with a diameter of up to 19mm. Whatever that is in inches...

With any luck, I'll be able to try for myself tomorrow.

As I said "it's snug", but the tubing deforms enough to allow room enough.

[alejo]

On the last page of the big thread on Liquidluxx, Rico from Watercool says that a newer revision has a seperation of 21.5 mm. I don't think anyone will have trouble using barbs and fat tubing, but commpression fittings are another matter.

[Langer]

Rico is a clever meticulous man, that revision wouldn't surprise me at all.

That would allow for 32.5mm fittings, and if compressions are only 26mm you'll have lots of room.

[alejo]

I think it's from the center of inlet to outlet on the block...which I can't wait to get.

[darkbladez]

so to say the 3/8ID 1/2OD compression barbs can fit?

Max width is 20.97 from SWC..

3/8"-1/2" Compression will definitely fit. But 1/2"-3/4" compression doesn't seems to be able.

Oh, sorry, I had overlooked you post.
Excuse the redundancy of my previous post, please. :)
