Description
The Bitspower Touchaqua TA 90-degree dual female extender fitting is an essential component for PC enthusiasts designing intricate custom liquid cooling systems. Engineered to solve clearance issues in crowded chassis, this adapter features a fixed 90-degree angle with standard G1/4" internal threads on both ends. Its compact design allows for precise fluid routing, making it an ideal choice for connecting male-threaded components or extending tubing runs where space is at a premium.
This product is for:
- Custom loop builders requiring precise 90-degree transitions between male-threaded fittings.
- Small Form Factor (SFF) enthusiasts looking to maximize internal space in compact PC cases.
- Professional system integrators who prioritize RoHS-compliant, high-durability brass components.
- Modders seeking a cost-effective 2-pack of fittings for symmetrical or dual-loop configurations.
- Users who need a robust, non-rotary adapter to minimize potential leak points in static connections.
Detailed specifications:
- Material: High-quality Brass with a corrosion-resistant finish.
- Threading: Dual Internal G1/4" (Female to Female).
- Angle: Fixed 90-Degree elbow.
- Compliance: RoHS certified for environmental and safety standards.
- Quantity: 2 pieces per package.
- Compatibility: Industry-standard G1/4" male fittings, radiators, and water blocks.
Integrating the Bitspower TA series fittings into a build offers a tactile sense of security thanks to precision-machined threading that prevents cross-threading. The dual female configuration acts as a sturdy bridge, allowing for the connection of two male fittings at a right angle without the bulk of larger adapters. In practice, these fittings significantly reduce the physical stress on PETG, acrylic, or soft tubing by eliminating the need for aggressive manual bends, ensuring the long-term integrity of the cooling loop.
Unlike rotary fittings that include O-rings at the swivel point, this fixed 90-degree dual female adapter offers a more streamlined profile and fewer moving parts, which inherently reduces the risk of mechanical failure over time. While rotary options provide more versatility during the initial mock-up, the TA series fixed extender is the superior choice for permanent, high-pressure sections of a loop. It serves as a professional-grade alternative to generic alloy adapters, maintaining better structural integrity under thermal fluctuations.
Q&A:
- Is this fitting a rotary or fixed adapter? This is a fixed 90-degree adapter designed for static connections and does not rotate.
- What thread size does this fitting support? It uses the universal G1/4" thread standard, making it compatible with the vast majority of water cooling hardware.
- Can I use this with both hard and soft tubing? Yes, as long as you use the appropriate male-threaded compression fittings on either end of the adapter.
- Is the material safe for use with colored coolants? The brass construction is compatible with most market-leading premixed coolants and corrosion inhibitors.
- How many adapters are included in the box? This product is sold as a 2-pack, containing two identical 90-degree dual female fittings.
