Adapter BitsPower X-Cross G1/4 inch buitendraad naar G1/4 inch binnendraad, 5 mm offset, matzwart

BitsPower X-Cross adapter converts a G1/4" male thread to a G1/4" female thread while providing a 5 mm axial offset. Finished in matte black, the adapter is intended for PC liquid-cooling loops and allows changing the thread gender of fittings or repositioning connections by a small, controlled amount. The compact metal construction is designed to work with radiators, water blocks, reservoirs and other components that use G1/4" threads, enabling cleaner routing and improved alignment of tubing and fittings.

Advantages

The adapter offers a secure conversion from G1/4" male to G1/4" female with a precise 5 mm offset to help resolve clearance and alignment issues without adding bulk. Its matte black finish reduces visible reflections and matches common cooling component aesthetics. The threaded connection maintains sealing compatibility with standard G1/4" fittings and helps preserve flow continuity in liquid-cooling loops.

Suitable for

• Reorienting fittings on radiators to avoid obstruction or improve airflow
• Adjusting connection positions on CPU/GPU water blocks for better tube routing
• Adapting reservoirs or pump tops where a gender change is required
• Replacing or extending threaded connections in custom liquid-cooling builds

Key specifications

• Thread conversion: G1/4" male to G1/4" female
• Axial offset: 5 mm
• Finish: matte black
• Compatibility: standard G1/4" threaded PC liquid-cooling components (radiators, blocks, reservoirs)
• Material: metal construction suitable for fittings (corrosion-resistant plating/coating typical of manufacturer finish)

How to use

Ensure both mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Hand-start the adapter onto the G1/4" male thread, aligning the offset as required to achieve the desired repositioning. Tighten by hand until snug and then use an appropriate tool if additional torque is necessary; avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage. After installation, check for leaks by pressurizing or filling the loop and inspect the connection during an initial test run.

Recommendations

Use the adapter as part of a properly assembled and tested liquid-cooling loop. Verify compatibility with existing fittings and avoid excessive force during tightening. Periodically inspect the connection for signs of loosening or leakage, especially after initial system run-in or when modifying the loop.
