Also just to add in, every example (including mine) above is a parallel flow configuration, you can obviously do serial flow if you omit one of the tubes.

Compression fittings. Basically the only fittings anyone uses.

I don't :)

 

 

@OP you can do this easily with 90 degree fittings.

I don't do short point to point tube routing because it makes it impossible to remove components without risking breaking the connection. Always leave slack.

Here take a look at some videos and guides on it, hardline tubing is not too hard to understand once you get a grasp of the basics.

I used a hacksaw that came with my silicon insert: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-hd-tube-d-i-y-kit-10and12mm

Combined with a chamfer tool https://www.amazon.com/Bitspower-BP-CMCT-Chamfer-Tool/dp/B06Y4DTPCK

Literally with a saw, and then you have a tool that sands it down, then you have to take a heat gun and bend it, but it takes a lot of skill because you have to eye ball it and be sure not to kink it

Generally its actually easier to bend first, and then cut down to size.

Use what ever method you want. Will make zero difference in performance. All about looks and simplicity at that point.
