EK A240 Tube Swapping Help

[Chaoz-Theory]

Hey Internet Peoples,

 

i currently run a EK A240 kit and want to switch the stock soft tubing kit with the hard one, i want to get one of those cutoff valves that everyone uses and cant find any as EK Gaming uses Aluminium which irritates me as i feel like i got the short end of the stick and now i cant really do much with it.

 

can anyone help me out?

For the drain you can use the T fitting and a plugged short length of tubing for draining. This is not ideal but the easiest solution, for a valve you can get plastic versions or the Quick disconnects from EK (Colder).

do you have any links for the plastic valves?

There are very few options for plastic ones as they're not as common with the G1/4" thread built in. Here is are some that are out there but expensive. You would be better to route a section of soft tubing and use the plastic quick disconnects.
