Introduction

Building a custom liquid cooling loop can be a rewarding experience, but it’s also fraught with potential problems. One of the biggest concerns is leaks, which can damage your components and leave you with a hefty repair bill. That’s where the EKWB EK-Loop Leak Tester Flex comes in. This handy tool allows you to test your loop for leaks before you even install it in your PC, giving you peace of mind and saving you from potential disaster.

Features

The EKWB EK-Loop Leak Tester Flex boasts a number of features that make it a valuable addition to any water cooling enthusiast’s toolkit:

• Flexible design: The leak tester features a flexible tube on one end, allowing you to easily connect it to your loop’s components.
• G1/4 threads: Compatible with standard G1/4 threaded fittings, making it compatible with most water cooling components.
• Easy to use: Simply connect the leak tester to your loop and pressurize it with a compatible air compressor.
• Durable construction: Made from high-quality materials for long-lasting performance.

Performance

I’ve been using the EKWB EK-Loop Leak Tester Flex for a few months now, and I’m impressed with its performance. It’s simple to use, and it has saved me from a potential leak disaster on more than one occasion.

I recently used the leak tester on a new build with a custom loop. After assembling the loop, I connected the leak tester and pressurized it to 1.5 bar. I was surprised to find a small leak at one of the fittings. I was able to tighten the fitting and re-test the loop, confirming that it was leak-free.

The flexibility of the tube is a huge plus. It allows you to easily reach all of the components in your loop, regardless of their location. And the G1/4 threads ensure compatibility with virtually all standard water cooling components.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Flexible design for easy connection to loop components
• Compatible with standard G1/4 fittings
• Simple and easy to use

Final Verdict

The EKWB EK-Loop Leak Tester Flex is an essential tool for anyone who builds custom liquid cooling loops. It’s easy to use, reliable, and has saved me from potential disaster. If you’re serious about water cooling, this is a must-have purchase.
