This is our database of CPU block fitting compatibility. For each block we have, we try to fit a pair of each brand, type, and size of fitting. Some cases there just isn’t enough spacing between the ports for anything but small compression fittings (or even any compression fittings at all) and in some cases there are other compatibility issues that would go unnoticed with basic measurements. For this reason, we will not be including measurements of fitting spacing or barb dimensions–it doesn’t tell the whole picture with compatibility.
Want to emphasize that every block and fitting combo, it’s actually tested–we have each block we test and have a pair of each fitting we test. In some cases, we do leak testing or other forms of in-use testing as well.
This database will be updated as we get blocks in to test, so if you keep a close eye on it, it will also indicate what blocks are going to be tested next.

BatouOh btw i have another question, a bit OT… I’m trying to purchase the new mounting system of the Supreme HF, is it this one?

Waiting for the upcoming review about it before purchasing anyway!

Eric (Vapor) HassettYup, that’s the Easy Mount system….only works with the “square” Supreme HFs. Our review should be up in a week or so.

BatouI use a 11 OD – 8 ID tubing for my loop, is it a 7/16″? I purchase all my parts from aquatuning and they use mm and not inches.. So i have some problem understanding the reference!

Eric (Vapor) Hassett8mm-11mm is probably equivalent to 5/16in-7/16in, which isn’t one of the sizes we’ve included. Considering 8mm-11mm is smaller than the smallest in the charts, compatibility should be high barring any o-ring or threading issues.
