Quick disconnect & flow meter placement in new hard tubing build

Hey all,


 


I'm about to embark on my first hard tubing build in a CaseLabs Mercury S8 case.


 


As part of this build, I'm trying to figure out how and where to put both a quick disconnect and a Aquacomputer flow meter in the loop. Anyone have any suggestions?


 


Obviously, I'd like these to be at the bottom of the case on the side that houses the power supply.


 


I have a QD in my current soft tubed build, but having a hard time wrapping my head around how to do the same in an acrylic tube build.


 


Thanks!

for the flow meter has to be a place where there are no 90's 45 it need a straight tube for a few inches on both sides to get accurate readings you can have 90's just not attached/very close.

for the hard tubing QDC's im not sure how you would do it

For Hardlines you can't have quick disconnects unless you plumb a section in soft tube to be able to unhook it, that's one of the main reasons why for hardline a drain or separate port is need compared to soft tube where it's possible to cut a piece of tube away from components to drain the fluid.
