Screw in the two G1/4 threaded male fittings. Attach the liquid cooling tubes and connect the water-block(s) into
the cooling circuit.
EKWB recommends using EK-CSQ fittings with the EK-FC R9-290X series water
blocks
. To ensure that the tubes are securely attached to the barb/fittings, please use hose clamps or an
appropriate substitute.
You can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port.
CAUTION:
In case of using connectors other than EK-CSQ or EK-PSC series compression fittings, take special
attention to the length of the fittings’ male G1/4” thread. In case the thread is longer than 5 mm please use the
enclosed 1.8 mm nickel plated spacer!
5mm is the maximum allowed G1/4” thread length!
