Quick Disconnects

[H0witzer]

Does anyone know where I can get quick disconnects for a liquid cooling system? These are the kind where when you disconnect them there is no leakage?

Thanks

try Xoxide.com or Newegg

I bought mine from here. The catalog structure isn't easy to navigate, but they ship fast and the couplings are very high-quality.

Yeah no kidding it's hard to navigate!!!

LOL

Thanks though, I'll try and find them

Yeah!

Look under "Pipe, Tubing, Hose and Fittings" in the "quick disconnect tube couplings" category. Pay careful attention to the sizes so as not to make a mistake. The also have a GREAT selection of tubing that comes out of the box like they scrubbed it before shipping.

Thanks. Good site. I think I found what I was looking for, double shut off quick disconnects.

Thanks again!!! This forum is great for this kind of stuff!

I am considering running the lines to copper lines encosed in a case (minifridge basically) with a peltier cooler to cool them down just a little more.

Howitzer, they never sell cheap but if you need they have. If there is any kind of problem they will work with you, as if you were a major account. Yesterday i placed a $85 shipped order with them. Once one realizes that this is THE major industrial warehouse for SoCal
the site is EZ to navigate. Mcmaster-Carr is top notch.

Actually the prices aren't insane, and when looking for specialized parts... you have to expect it.

I will most likely buy them from there, they have what I want.

LOL yeah... actually that was how I finally found it.

Every quick disconnect I have used leaks a little bit of water when you pull it apart. Same goes for these computer disconnects?

The i.5"hydralic ones drop about a teaspoon.

Solution: Wrap a small rag around it when you disconnect. Simple.

I've never seen a coupling that didn't discharge a bit when you disconnet. The good part about these is that they're rated for 10cc's and that's easily managed.
