How do you put a hardline tube inside the reservoir on the top?

Go to solution Solved by Oshino Shinobu,

You screw it in. The threads on those ports go all the way through, so you can install the inner tubes on the inside of them, along with a fitting on the outside. 

 

EDIT: Also, that's not just a bit of hardline tubing, it's a specifically designed inlet tube.

Like this. How do you do this without having a fitting there? This is the multiport EK Top. Not exactly sure how this is done. I've also seen this on JayzTwoCent's watercool build,but he didn't show how he did it.

Oh really? So you would actually thread the outside of the tube during the process?

No. Edited my post to expand on that. You buy the tube pre-threaded.

I see! Thanks a lot! I am just now making my build tiny bit more sexier in my opinion thanks to you :D
