so im a water cooling noob.  Ive decided to take apart my system and clean it out.  While doing that i decieded to try and move the rads around mostly to help make my pump the lowest point in my loop.  My question is i wana make a run from my top rad to my front rad.  The issue is that since im using soft tubing, im afraid that it will kink with the type of bend that i need to make.  I will attach a picture of where it is going into.  Do they make right angle fittings for soft tubing?  If they do could you link some to me.  Im trying to stick with ekwb just because everything else is that and they have to be black to match the rest of the system.  If ekwb dosent make them, then please let me know who makes them.  If i am just talking nonsense and this part dosent exist, also let me know.  Thanks

Search ebay for G1/4 fittings.

 

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.XG1%2F4+90+degree+fitting.TRS0&_nkw=G1%2F4+90+degree+fitting&_sacat=0

 

Thats just an example, there are a ton of G1/4 EK fittings in black that you can find in that search but boy...what a price to pay for a piece of metal for a brand name on it.

Its not quite that simple. Yes they do right angle connectors for soft tubing but they do come in different sizes. That looks like a standard G1/4 fitting from the pic but there's no way we can say that for sure. You need to measure the OD & ID of the pipe to make sure.

 

TBF the vast majority of soft tubing equipment uses G1/4 so its very likely to be that but its also not exactly cheap to buy a new fitting that might end up being wrong.

As long as you have a res, the pump just needs to be bellow that. It doesn't have the be the lowest point in the loop. The res is what helps collect air, and thus only allows the pump to be fed 100% water.

 

As far as adapters, I typically use swivel 25's or 90's. The far left is what I have a few of, but, you get the idea.
