FITTINGS AND TUBING

STEP 1

Screw-in two (2) G1/4 threaded male fittings. Attach the liquid

Do not forget to plug the remaining two openings using
the enclosed EK-Plug G1/4 or its equivalent.

EK recommends using EK fittings with all EK water blocks.

CAUTION: When using connectors other than EK
fittings, pay special attention to the length of the fittings’
male G1/4” thread – 5mm is the maximum G1/4” thread
length allowed!
