Hi,
I just got a HPE-30 280 and a UT60 420
I am having trouble fitting my Bitspower G 1/4 fitting into the 280 rad port. They fit perfectly on the 420.
I am able to take a threaded plug from a port on the other side and screw it in fully and get it tight. So I know the threads are clean etc.
However I am unable to screw in a Bitspower fitting as far as the plug is going.
So the O-rings on the fittings are not compressing onto the surface of the radiator port.
I went pretty much as tight as I could by hand and even had to use channel locks to get it back off.
also, I like the flush fitting plugs on the HPE 280 i have. Can i use the same plugs in my UT60 ? It would help the fit in my case.
thank you,
Barney
