Has anyone had any experience with primochill rigid tubing fittings? I'm wondering if the fittings are strong and hold the tubing well. I am thinking of purchasing primochill rigid tubing but in worried about the fittings not being tight enough, i just don't want the tubing popping out the fittings or me accidentally knocking the tubing out.
Are primochill rigid tubing fittings strong?

They have the new "Revolver" fittings as well. They were only released like a month or 2 ago.

I know what you mean, I've wondered this at times. They're similar to SLI/CrossfireX watercooling fittings, but these are more secure as they are held sandwiched between the two cards in quite a tight gap. The fittings for rigid tubing have 2 O-rings inside them, separated by several millimeters. The tubing is simply inserted into the fitting (it helps to put a couple of drops of water on the tubing to lubricate it) and is held snug by the O-rings.

As far as I'm aware, but I don't have first hand experience using them. There isn't a tightening bolt, just the compression from the O-rings.

the outer nut part of the fitting puts pressure on the o-ring making it a super snug fit unless you completely mess up tightening it theres no way without forcing it to separate it. In laymans terms you aint gonna simply knock it out unless you didnt install it right in the first place.

Oh....(chuckles).....yea I wouldn't worry about that. The only way it will come loose is if you didn't assemble it correctly like S_I_N mentioned. I mean, I have the tubing, and fittings and I can put 1 no a rad and put the tubing on snug with the fitting and carry the rad around by the tubing without it budging.
