The barb hose fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them in; otherwise the high flow fittings might break. These fittings do not need to be tightened with much force because the
liquid seal is made using O-rings. The use of an algaecide and corrosion inhibitors is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
