Bought 2pcs of this but decided not to use.
I think the position of that G1/4 inlet is annoying.
I can turn the whole thing until it stops at one angle only which is far from my desired angle.
Hope the inlet is moveable.

Yaya same as EK res' u cant screw compression fitting completel; must use G1/4 extender otherwise it will leak. Blame its bad design lol.

we demand for see pic of setup

EK 7970 block in action...

SOS

nickel falling off exposing the copper base aka erosion

looks bad imo, the nickel will continue to fall by time, slowly.
i believe u can send it for RMA/replacement to EN.

Read this before RMA

RMA to EN


EK's stand on bad Ni plating

but if u read the first link i posted above it says

IMO it looks quite dark.
I think u should dilute it with a qty of distilled.

btw,
Swiftech's new products for 2012 PDF

no corrosion, should be fine.
dye stain is more worrying...

EK's old nickel plating (non-EN) method was claimed to have too thin nickel layer to provide adhesion on the copper layer. But it's solved with the new EN version so when u buy any EK nickel-plated wb make sure that u grab this EN. Anyway, I don't have this nickel flaking problem on my non-EN wbs though. HF + 2x FC-580GTX+ + MIVE block + Dom RAM block all plexi+Ni all okay.

i personally dislike the look of them, in the end you have to grab the tubing just like all other fittings. Bitspower compression fitting is enough for me as I don't need a wrench, just hold the tubing & 1/4 turn. But it's good to see more companies are putting some different stuff on the market, more choices of colours & design.
