CorsairHydro X Series, XF Rotary Y-Splitter, Black

When I tried to close this valve, the valve handle would not turn completely perpendicular to the long axis of the valve. Thus the valve was not completely closed.Although I applied considerable force to close the valve, I was unable to do it.When I ordered a replacement valve from Amazon, the replacement valve had exactly the same problem as the first valve that I purchased. Thus I returned both valves to Amazon and purchased an EK valve which does not require excess force to open/close the valve.

In the last 10 years I have used almost every water cooled G 1/4 fitting on the market. I purchased 12 fittings here on Amazon. When I am moving around hardware to do competitive overclocking, I remove the hard line PET 16 mm and install soft tubing to the CPU waterblock and to the waterblocks on the GPU,(s). I installed these fittings on my hardware. So when it's time to move things around, I drain my system then I can not loosen the top of the fitting to remove the " Corsair soft tubing". It is locked tight I put it on by hand now I have to get a tool? thats wrong. Then I have one tube come with the thing come off with the system up and running ASUS Apex Z490 and Evga 2080TI in the trash because of this product. I can not afford junk like the fittings here.

Fittings have zero leak on first run and still non leak a month later. Good fit for the Corsair soft tubing.

I paid $26.99 for 2 rotary fittings and received 2 fixed 90 deg fittings instead - not what I ordered and certainly not worth what I paid. I had two others from the Corsair HydroX kit, which are exactly as pictured and described. The fixed ones I received were quite cheap in comparison and feel.However at that time, I figured that I just ordered the wrong thing and it was not worth the hassle to send back and get 2 new ones. I happened to also buy an EK male to female rotary fitting that saved my project. Now that I see I ordered the correct parts but was sent the wrong ones, I'm pretty unhappy I overpaid.Edit:The product I received instead of as pictured, look exactly like these except in black (wondering how I can request the $11.99 back from Amazon?):https://www.amazon.com/Bitspower-Touchaqua-90-Degree-Extender-Glorious/dp/B07VGZGBBB/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=XAyje&pf_rd_p=205b21f0-8557-4ea8-a863-e58f77379cf8&pf_rd_r=NAK0HRJVRJTM351HA4AW&pd_rd_r=319eac80-b281-4977-968a-a7fa4abace53&pd_rd_wg=BKgev&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m

Sometimes they fully seal and sometimes they slightly leak. I have 4 of these that I use for my feed line, drain line, exhaust line, and exhaust bypass. Two of them fully close and there is no leakage when pressure testing at 0.5 bars, so I put them on my feed and drain lines. The other two do leak slowly when pressure testing and I've put them on my exhaust and bypass since they should work well enough there under normal operation. Kind of disappointing though. The two that leak can't even hold 0.25 bars worth of pressure and now I worry that the other two might stop fully sealing at some point. Another thing that annoys me is that fittings don't lock down very well when screwed into either end. No matter how tightly you try to screw them in, any amount of twist will easily unthread them from the valve. Also, the knobs don't line up perfectly. They're usually a little bit tilted when either open or closed and where exactly the knob stops is a little different for each one. That probably matters to some people. At this price, maybe it should.

While the product came in a very nice foam packaging, the coating was totally missing from many of the fittings, with one being pretty bad overall. I can hide them on the back outlets but it is a clear poor quality control. The fittings seems to be exactly as the Barrow ones, which I’m yet to see any loose coating as of these.Overall disappointed with Corsair quality. 2 really bad fitting coatings, and 7 out of 8 fittings with at least one piece of missing coating is bad.

The product box these are packaged in is top of the line fancy. The quality and material build of the compression fittings are excellent. They where easy to install and they do not leak.

I would have given this 5 stars had it been made more clear from the title that these fittings are for softline tubing and not hardline, however I dont want my ignorance to hinder the product. After that confusion and having to wait an additional week to build my PC, I was surprised about how simple these were to use. I did have a bit of trouble figuring out how to install these with the tubing, again my ignorance at work, the trick is to screw the fitting into the component (such as the pump or cpu block) and then slide the tubing over the fitting.

at first they seamed to be very good but after some time and moving loop order about a few time they do seam to be getting looser and loose, and im sure they will start to leak if i move the loop about a bit more, if yo play on making a loop and leaving it they will be spot on but if you change parts often or add parts i wouldnt use them as like i said they do get loose after a while (taking about the rotating part)

To install this you need extra connecters. I had to use two hard-line connecters and a piece of tube.It also leaks. Only drips but over time it will build up. So I had to buy a Fill port and then only used a small coin cap from it. I'm not sure what a fill port is for.Now the drain port on my loop has cost over £50 with all the Corsair parts that don't fit unless you buy other Corsair parts that are very expensive for what you get. Would probably go with another brand if I where to do it again

Updated: I spoke to Corsair and there were 2 issues, not resulting from the product.... I was using it wrong.1/ The valve MUST be used with an end cap.2/ I wasn't fully closing the valve. It has to be shut fully 90 degrees (with surprising force needed) to deal.With these things corrected it work just fine. I was wrong....Original review: Brand new fitted to new tubing it leaks slowly. 100% not fit for purpose. Ive asked Corsair to comment but clearly not up to the job of controlling the sealing of a custom loop.Either QC is poor or the part is fundamentally flawed.

Very well made but wow the price is way to high £25 for 4 I needed 8 £50 just on fittings but they do work well

Leak free, easy to use, well made. But Corsair has jumped on the "It's watercooling so let's make it expensive" bandwagon. As it goes, I'm prepared to swallow the cost to get something reliable, but really, more than £5 each for something that, if it were for your central heating system, would be less than a quid is taking the mickey
