Where can I get this stuff?

VotTak · 04-09-2002, 12:32 PM

From article on this site about watercooling of videocard I saw "prestlok 1/8in pipe fittings" and "elbow prestlok 1/8in pipe fittings". I tried to look for such a thing and did not find any info about it ... So, where can I buy/get such a thing?
Anyone?
Thnx.

I got those fittings at www.McMastercarr.com . That site is a GREAT place for watercoolers as they have just about anything you need. It isi huge though so take some time to look through it.

Thnx a lot for reply. I tried to follow your suggestion and spent a lots of time there on that site. Unfortunately I did not find the stuff I was looking for. I was trying even to use their search engine to look up "prestlok" ... nothing.
Would you please give me some hints as how to look it up?
Coz it seems like I looked through the "fittings" section and did not find whatever I was looking for.
Thnx

I have alot of extra prestlock fittings and tubing. What size do you need? I need the pipe size and the tube size. I am currently using a different type of hose for my video card. It is available at www.Mcmastercarr.com. It is a silicon based hosing for both the memory and the GPU. IT is MUCH easier to work with. The hose barbs use a 10-32 machine thread which means no pipe tapping (yay!). The hose is 1/8 inner diameter silicon tubing. It is ten times easier to work with than the plastic tubing used with prestlock fittings. When you go to mcmastercarr, type in "Miniature Hose Fitting" in the search function and it will provide you with the proper link.
