Attaching a fillport with a T connector. 1 quick question.

engstrom0304 · 7 Nov 2009 at 00:38

Hi, I am getting a reservoir that has 2 ins and 2 outs. Basically a 2 loop system sharing a res.

I want to make use of my HAF 932's fillport so can I just put a T-Connector just before the reservoir on one of the loops and put a tube to the top of the case and a fillport there?

Would that work? Would the tube from the T need to be filled right up to the fillport? Wouldnt that push the water outo the top??

How do I add the fillport to the loop with a T-Line. Explain in Lehmans terms!

No you do not need to fill to the top.

And if you use a t-line why have a res?

The fillport is your res.

If I understand you correctly, you have a reservoir with four holes and no means of filling. You'd like to fill the reservoir using a tube running to a fillport on the top of your case.

If so, then a T line will work excellently. Take a piece of tubing from the middle of the T up to the fill port, and plumb the rest of the T just before the highest entrance/exit on the reservoir.

To fill, pour into the fillport until the reservoir is full, run the pump until the res is nearly empty, repeat. I'd make sure there's enough water in the system that the T line is always about half full personally, but this isn't needed.

Which reservoir do you have in mind? I'm surprised it doesn't have a fillport built in

It does, it is the Primochill Typhoon III Reservoir for the D5. However my case has a built in port on the top of the case and I don't want to take it out of its drive bay to fill meaning an excess amount of tubing than I need.
