Common Applications

The TLYKQ-T16 is a replacement hand-tightening ring from the Barrow Choice series, made from anodized aluminum alloy and produced in multiple colors so builders can refresh or theme a finished 16mm OD rigid-tube loop without rebuilding it. It is the outer ring only and does not include the fitting body, O-rings, or anti-off seals; it slides over the hidden hex groove of an existing TFYKN-T16 compression fitting body. The pack contains two rings, enough for one inlet/outlet pair. Because the ring stays outside the coolant path, it is a purely cosmetic upgrade aimed at show builds, exhibition systems, and PCs whose color scheme has changed since the loop was first plumbed.
