Anyone know if this is ok to do? The Bitspower fittings dont screw in as far as the little adapter thing they provide, but just seeing if anyone else has done it and if there any issues with leaks?
 
Well decided to do a test, managed to find enough fittings to make a loop so will find out in a few hours if it leaks or not!
 
If the instructions say to use the extender for the recessed inlets/outlets, we really recommend that you use said extender. This is how the product was intended to be used.

Just wondering, why did you make them that way, rather than being able to fit a regular fitting into it?

I ended up getting an oring which fit snugly in there to create a seal.

Im very happy with most of your products, but this seemed like somewhat of an oversight, especially in a build where how the computer looks is top priority...

I would suggest either having the returns flush, or make the recess an extra mm wider in diameter to accomodate bitspower fittings.
 
The inlets/outlets are recessed so our EK-Plug fittings fit perfectly flush when used. This is to allow everything to be flat and smooth under normal operations.

So which port are we meant to use as an inlet under normal operation, when every inlet is recessed for the use of a plug?
