General information
DeltaMate fittings are water cooling connectors that Thermal Grizzly designed for the individual components of a custom water cooling loop. They are precisely machined from brass, as expected from Thermal Grizzly quality. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It offers the advantage of being anodically compatible with other metals while being harder and more corrosion-resistant than copper. The sealing rings (O-rings) are made from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber), a highly elastic material which is resistant to ozone and UV radiation. The fittings are coated with a matt nickel finish, which Thermal Grizzly calls a premium finish that is also easy to clean.
Tube installation
The ST16 fitting in matt nickel is suitable for soft tubes made of flexible plastics. Its single tapered barb allows straightforward installation for a wide range of flexible tubes. In combination with the barb, a knurled compression ring securely grips the tubing with high retention force, and that allows for easy and secure tube installation.
Note: Only tubes with 10mm inner diameter / 16mm outer diameter fit this one.
Fit in the loop
Installation is done using an 8 mm hex key (8mm), which the robust design of the DeltaMate fittings allows for. The compact overall dimensions facilitate installation in almost any watercooling loop. All DeltaMate fittings share one uniform, consistent outer diameter, which ensures completely seamless integration of the individual components.
