Water-cooling fitting Aqua-Computer airplex — copper, aluminium/black/copper finish

Aqua-Computer airplex is a water-cooling fitting manufactured from copper and available with aluminium, black or copper finish options. Created for PC liquid cooling systems, this fitting serves as a durable connection component that integrates with standard soft tubing and custom cooling loops. Its copper construction provides high thermal conductivity and, when combined with appropriate surface finishes, supports long-term use in assemblies with radiators, water blocks and reservoirs.

Advantages

The copper body ensures effective heat transfer and mechanical strength while finishes in aluminium, black or copper offer visual consistency with different system builds. The fitting is designed for compatibility with common tubing sizes and standard compression or push-fit arrangements, giving straightforward installation and reliable sealing when used with recommended hoses and clamps. Its materials and construction reduce the risk of deformation under load and support consistent coolant flow.

Suitable for

• Custom PC liquid cooling loops including radiators, CPU and GPU blocks
• Connections to reservoirs and pump inlets/outlets
• Retrofit or upgrade projects where corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity are important

Key specifications

• Primary material: copper
• Finish options: aluminium, black, copper
• Designed for use with standard soft tubing and common compression fittings
• Intended for PC liquid cooling applications (radiators, blocks, reservoirs)
• Durable mechanical construction for long-term installation

How to use

Install the fitting in your cooling loop by preparing the tubing end, sliding on any required compression rings or clamps, and inserting the tube over the fitting tail uniformly. Tighten compression collars or clamps to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to ensure a leak-free connection. Route tubing to avoid sharp bends and excessive stress on the fitting; confirm alignment with adjacent components such as radiators, blocks and reservoirs. When assembling with different metals in the loop, follow coolant and material compatibility guidelines to limit galvanic corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible coolant formulations and monitor mixed-metal configurations. Periodically inspect seals and fittings for signs of wear or corrosion and replace any damaged components promptly. For optimal results, pair the fitting with tubing and clamps rated for PC water-cooling and follow system pressure and temperature limits.
