Locate the Inlet and Outlet BittWare supplies a length of tubing to attach to the inlet and outlet of the CVP-13. You can adapt this tubing to your liquid cooling infrastructure or use your own. This guide illustrates how to attach the tube and provides key information on fitting to our liquid cooling hardware.
Remove the Debris Cover The CVP-13 ships with the inlet and outlet plugged with a nickel-plated brass piece to prevent debris from entering the cold plates. To remove the debris cover, use a flathead screwdriver or small coin to remove the plug. All liquid fittings are tapped for...
Assemble the Tube and Fittings BittWare ships two pre-cut lengths of tube with partially assembled fittings. Although they are pre-assembled, make sure the barbed fitting is properly tightened to the right angled body to prevent leaks. The diagram below shows an assembled and...
Assemble the Right Angled Fittings The right angled fittings are made up of a body and core piece. Assemble these fittings onto the inlet and outlet of the card, threading the core piece and tightening it with a flathead torque driver to at least 8.7 in-lb [98 N-cm]. Repeat for both inlet and outlet.
Adjust the Tube Direction Using the provided fittings, you can adjust the tube direction to accommodate various systems. However, do not move a fitting once you have tightened it down; rotating the tubes once they have been tightened can loosen the leak-tight seal. If you need to change the direction of the tube, (1) loosen the core piece, (2) set the angle, and (3) tighten the core piece back to 8.7in-lb [98 N-cm].
Specifications BittWare cooling hardware is made of nickel-plated copper and brass pieces. Note: Using un-plated, dissimilar metals in your cooling hardware increases corrosion and is not recommended. The table below is a full list of temperature, pressure, and hardware specifications: Max Temperature 176°F [80°C]...
