Compression Fitting Koolance FIT-V10X13-BK — 1/4" to 13/10mm, black

The Koolance compression fitting FIT-V10X13-BK provides a secure transition between a 1/4" male threaded port and 13/10 mm tubing. Finished in black, this fitting is engineered for liquid cooling loops and custom coolant plumbing where a reliable, low-profile connection is required. It is intended for use in low-pressure liquid systems such as PC water cooling, test rigs and other controlled fluid circuits that require a leak-resistant join between different connector and tube sizes.

Advantages

This compression fitting delivers a tight seal without the need for adhesives, combining a simple push-and-tighten assembly with durable materials and precision threads to reduce the risk of leaks. The black finish provides a neutral aesthetic for visible loops while resisting corrosion and wear typical in coolant environments. Its compact form factor helps maintain tidy tubing runs and compatibility with commonly used coolant hoses in desktop and laboratory applications.

Suitable for

• PC water cooling loops and radiator/tank connections
• Custom coolant plumbing and prototype fluid circuits
• Laboratory setups with low-pressure liquid flow
• Retrofits where a 1/4" port must connect to 13/10 mm tubing

Key specifications

• Connection types: 1/4" male threaded port to 13/10 mm tubing
• Seal method: compression-style with ferrule
• Finish: black
• Intended system pressure: low-pressure liquid cooling and similar applications
• Typical use temperature: ambient to moderate coolant temperatures (typical for PC cooling)

How to use

Ensure mating threads and tubing are clean and free of debris before installation. Slide the compression nut and ferrule onto the 13/10 mm tubing, insert the tube fully into the fitting body, and hand-tighten the nut onto the 1/4" threaded port until seated. Use an appropriate wrench to secure the nut further, taking care not to overtighten; tighten until a firm compression seal is achieved and the tubing is held securely. After assembly, pressurize the system and inspect the joint for leaks, re-tightening slightly if required.

Usage recommendations

Use tubing rated for the intended coolant and operating temperature. Avoid excessive bending near the fitting to prevent strain on the seal. When servicing, depressurize and drain the loop before disassembly to reduce risk of spills. Periodically inspect fittings and tubing for signs of wear or degradation, especially in systems using additives or aggressive coolants.
