Can someone help me with angle fittings

Can someone explain to me how these angle fittings work because only 1 side to me looks like it actually works, how do I install the female thread side to my system? Do I need a regular compression fitting and use the male thread on that with the female thread on the angle fitting meaning I need to have 2 fittings?

I have several of these in my system, the thread on it can go into any of the waterblocks or radiators and then the other end you need to put a compression fitting in. So 1 tube fitting and the angle fitting.

How would I go about using them between 2 tubes? say I want an angle but not at a waterblock/radiator, how would I go about using that?

You may need to use an angle piece adapter that has only female threads + two regular male compression fittings:

What Tam3n said. You need 1 angle with 2 females and then use 2 compression fittings. Not sure ek makes a compression fitting with a female thread.

EK makes angled fittings with 2 female ends.  So you can couple that with two compression fittings from each line.

Not literally, more of you half answered the question.  I specifically said EK makes the 2 female connector and avoids the female threaded compression fitting.
