Anillo EK Water Blocks

The EK Water Blocks 3831109816615 is an anodized aluminum aesthetic ring in a gold finish designed for use with EK-Torque STC 10/13 soft-tube compression fittings. Manufactured for compatibility with 10/13 mm ID/OD soft tubing systems, the ring serves as an interchangeable accent that screws onto the fitting body before the compression locking ring. Its durable metal construction and corrosion-resistant anodized surface provide a refined appearance while resisting wear from regular handling and installation.

Advantages

The gold anodized aluminum delivers consistent color and surface hardness that resists scratches and fading. Because the ring is made specifically for EK-Torque STC 10/13 fittings, installation is straightforward and fitment is reliable when paired with the correct soft-tube compression components. The metal build adds negligible bulk while improving the overall aesthetic of a water-cooled PC loop.

Suitable for

• PC water-cooling builds using EK-Torque STC 10/13 compression fittings
• Systems using 10 mm ID / 13 mm OD soft tubing
• Custom loop builders seeking a coordinated visual finish or color accent

Key specifications

• Material: Anodized aluminum
• Color: Gold (anodized finish)
• Compatibility: EK-Torque STC 10/13 soft-tube compression fittings only

How to use

Before assembling, confirm you are using EK-Torque STC 10/13 fittings and 10/13 mm soft tubing. Screw the gold color ring onto the fitting body ahead of the compression locking ring, ensuring threads align and the ring sits flush against the fitting shoulder. After the ring is in position, proceed with fitting the soft tubing and tightening the compression locking ring to secure the tube. No adhesives or special tools are required beyond the standard tools used for fitting installation.

Recommendations

For reliable compatibility and best appearance, use these gold rings exclusively with EK-Torque STC 10/13 fittings and 10/13 mm soft tubing. During assembly, avoid overtightening the decorative ring; tighten only until seated and then secure the compression ring to achieve the proper seal. Clean the anodized surface with a soft, dry cloth to maintain finish.
