Thermaltake CL-W086-CU00SL-A Pacific G1/4 Chrome Pressure Equalizer 💧 Stop Plug with O-Ring - Ultimate Water Cooling Solution! Review

Works as intended. A star was deducted due to the o-ring being unusable, too big and too soft (too soft), but saved one from the TT plug that came with the cooler. May not appear in photos or product but comes in two pieces and can be used as a convenient filler hole without having to remove the gas cap each time, minimizing tank wear. Overall great. TT just needs a better o-ring.

I see a slight bulge in the teflon material during operation and when it's off it returns smoothly. To me, that would mean he's releasing pressure, right? No, installed, the system filled, the system shut down after numerous instances of cracking various plugs and burping. I left it running for another 12 hours and turned it off. I opened the lid after a few minutes to add more liquid to the system and got a nice big puff of pressurized liquid on my face. Haven't done it since so not sure…

The concept of the product is useful and it seems that there are no similar alternatives. I have a leak in the bottom port of the tank and when the pressure is increased it doesn't flow well. The pressure limitation keeps everything under control. Firstly, there are no instructions and I wasn't sure how to use it. The white teflon is attached to the bottom and looks fake to me. I installed it anyway, but if someone could explain how it limits pressure build-up even when there is a teflon gasket

Too many enthusiasts unintentionally pressurize their liquid cooling systems. If you close the loop and then heat the coolant, the coolant expands, but where? This increases your PSI, causes leaky connections, and even pushes hard wires out of sockets. They are unaware of their mistake and blame the faucet manufacturer. Although closing the loop safely is possible, doing so requires attention and care. You should run it in hot conditions and then use the manual pressure relief valve to…

The plug looks good and is well made, I tried blowing it from one side, the air went very easily, so I'm making a little Worried about leaking, I'll know later too. The photo shows 2 plugs but there was only one in the packages

Not sure if the 'eq' is any better than the standard plug but I've tried it and it keeps water in the system even when it's upside down stands. I'm not worried about it leaking.

I used to not have pressure issues (due to temperature changes) as there was a vent in the transmission/radiator cap, but now I use a "plastic" res and didn't want to risk anything, so I put a tube over the vent and inserted the tip of an old eye drop bottle to allow it to vent, but the dust didn't get into the loop. The only problem is when I lay the body flat (when cleaning/machining) sometimes a few drops of coolant come out so I wanted a real pressure valve as they tend to have pin sized…

I've been looking for a one way pressure reducing valve and I think this is it. I was expecting something that would allow the pressure to go out of the loop if it exceeded a certain PSI. This appears to be performing its intended function without it. It's essentially a sheet of flexible Teflon tape sandwiched between a BSP G1/4" fitting and a ring that stretches/expands to allow for pressure equalization. For example, the one on my GPU loop looks like this like it's blowing a bubble when I'm…
