Details
The Barrow TYKN-K12 V4 is a G1/4" compression fitting for 12mm OD hard tube. Screw it into any G1/4" port, slide the tube in and tighten the knurled collar by hand: O-rings seal the tube and the collar holds it. Barrow calls it the extended edition of its V4 hard tube fitting. It is machined from brass and finished in black.

Hard tube to any G1/4" port
Screw the base into a G1/4" port on a block, radiator, reservoir or other fitting, slide the 12mm OD hard tube in and tighten the collar by hand. O-rings inside the fitting seal the tube and the collar holds it in place.
Built for 12mm OD hard tube
The fitting takes hard tube with a 12mm outside diameter, such as acrylic or PETG tube. It does not hold soft tubing or hard tube of other sizes.
Hidden hexagon for a tool
Barrow says a hexagon is built into the inside of the base, so you can screw the fitting in and take it out more firmly with a hex tool instead of only by hand.
Brass with a double-protected finish
Barrow uses H59 brass for the body and protects the surface with what it calls a double electroplating process, which it says gives a fine texture that is solid and durable.
Non-slip diamond knurling
The base and the collar both carry a diamond knurl for a sure grip when you tighten by hand. The band between them carries the Barrow logo and the 4 of the V4 series.
Standard G1/4" thread
The male thread is the standard G1/4" of PC water cooling, so the fitting works with blocks, radiators, reservoirs and fittings from other makers as well as Barrow's own. An O-ring seals the thread against the port.
