Final loop questions.

TheIcedCanadian · January 3, 2015

For my water cooling loop I am going to build soon, I have a couple of questions to ask before I buy the parts.

Q1) Do I have to include any fittings to secure the soft tubing to the pumps? eg normal 1/2 3/4 tubing onto this pump

Q2) For the rigid tubing part of the build, would these fittings fit onto the rigid tubes and screw onto normal ports?

Q3) I will be changing from rigid tubing to soft tubing. How would I do this? Would I just use a 90º fitting and then attach the rigid tubing to the 90º with this hard tube fitting, and then on the other end use a normal compression fitting for the soft tubing. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks for any help!

Answers:

Q1. Nope. Hose clamps of some kind. Zip ties,or something similar to these.

Q2. Yes you could use those.

Q3. I would suggest you do this change at a component like a rad, res or pump, where its solid mounted and won't risk pulling the solid tubing out of its fitting. the use of a rotary 90, an extension and another 90 of a top mounted rad, can allow you to run the tubing behind the mother board tray down to a hidden res for example.

Highly dont recomend doing a change mid run.

Hope this helps!!

I'll be basing this on JayzTwoCents Skunkworks, so I am not exactley sure what to do - haven't really planned it out right now.

Here a couple vids on the computer I am basing it on - pretty much a black/white version of this - if you have any more suggestions they are appriciated!
