Water cooling pro needed...

You'll need to have been into water cooling about a decade ago

Hi all. Some one has very kindly given me an old Danger Den block. ATM I have it apart cleaning it, but when I attempted to put my fittings in it I noticed it had a sloped channel. Let me illustrate the difference between it and my other blocks... This is a G 1/4 fitting.



OK so that's basically what the G 1/4 threaded holes look like.

How did people used to seal barbs in? did they use bigger Orings in those days? is it even possible for me to use this?

PTFE tape, DD blocks had this for neatness, the O-Rings will still seal, but a bit of PTFE should be fine. (not much mind, or you might crack it)

Which block is it?

It's not one of the old white water blocks is it? Those were really cool and I wish I still had mine.

Hose clamps with some black electric tape underneath is also a good thing to secure those hose to the bar'd on the older style barbs.

Nvm just remembered that was dtek that made them.
