Hardline Conections

[Williyamithadude]

So I am confusion because I'm going to do hardline but where I get confusion is getting everything together. So I think it should go out from the res/pump into the water block and then out of the water block into the radiator and then out of that back into the res/pump. Is this correct or am I wrong? If anyone knows pls help.

That will be fine, so long as the res is before the pump, which it sounds like you've got a combo unit, then you're fine. Loop order beyond that doesn't matter.

Thank you very much but then if my res/pump has two inlets should I just plug it up?

Ah, for some reason I'm having a hard time finding pictures that show the inlets and outlets all around it but I assume it's got one outlet on the bottom and then inlets at the top. In that case it's probably easiest, depending on your exact setup, to go pump (outlet) > block > rad > res (inlet) like you mentioned originally.

Yes.

It's not uncommon for some pumps to have two inlets and a single outlet.

Just plug the inlet you're not going to use. The pump should even have some with its own set of plugs.

 

I have a pump like this and I use the second inlet to air when filing the loop since I can't easily run a tube to the reservoir top given the tight spaces.
