All angled fittings leak

[Remmy]

Hey, before I've only ever used 45 and 90 degree angled fittings which I've never had a problem with.

I've significantly changed my loop which made things really close and tight in places so I got some 30 and 60 degree fittings from aquatuning and luckily I tested them both and they both leaked. One from beneath the o-ring near the thread, and the other through the rotary joint which has no o-ring.

I bought 2 more from specialtech, and tested these, and again the exact same problem. One through the rotary joint and the other through the threads.

Has anyone else tried these, they are all Phobya branded fittings, and it seems so bizarre that all 4 leak and they're from different manufacturers so it's likely that they're from different batches too.

I've had to just use 45s which has made the tubing bent and slightly kinked in places :/

Every fitting should have o rings around the thread. I have never had fittings leak.

Could you link us to the four fittings you use?

They all have o-rings around the thread, they do not have one where the rotary joint is. I've never had a fitting leak either, this is the first time.

You should, first of all obviously return those fittings and try another brand. From experience I can recommend Alphacool and Bitspower rotary fittings.

Wow, that's a crazy bunch of leaks to have in such a short time frame. I echo the Bitspower fittings, as I've never seen one leak yet. Are the o-rings nicked up? I wonder if the O-rings are getting crushed oddly when you attach them.
