First Build Next Weekend - Advice

Both of your two options would be simplified by sending the grey line to the port marked "stop fitting" in the centre "S" channel. Both your diagrams have the front rad outlet eventually ending up in that channel so you may as well go direct and save yourself some effort.

The most rewarding jobs are always harder than they look. Stick with it, youll be really pleased when its done and it does get easier with practice :)
 
Hi All,

So am just waiting for my fans to come and i will have all the parts i need.

Which has given me lots of time to think.

With both my options isn't the big L (which would take 2 lengths of pipe, so would need a 90" fitting) too long?.

What i was thinking, was do the same as the Barrow picture but just connect the pump to the reservoir, i.e. (the black line):

So i have started and got a couple of the connections in.

I am struggling with the top right section (the top of the right hand radiator to the top of the distribution plate) as well as the other connection from the same radiator.

Originally i was trying to just do tubing with the relevant bends. I have managed to do this, but due to the tightness of the bends the connections don't seem that secure.

I am now thinking for the very tight bend:

10mm (i have ordered other sizes) male to female extension that will go into the radiator, followed by a 90" double rotary fitting, into another male to male extension fitting which is in the reservoir.

For the second bend. I am going to use a 10mm male to female extension that will go into the radiator, followed by a 90" double rotary fitting (same setup as the above), followed by just a 90" bend into a compression fitting.

Advice (especially if this doesn't seem a good idea or there is a better way) would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks Mike.

Can I have a length of tubing go from the distribution block and up to the top of the case and then just block it off for a fill port?.

So like a length of tubing 20cm or so that is connected to the distribution block but not part of any loop?
 
Yes, definitely. In fact it used to be common. I've jut put a T on the outlet of my cpu block with a 6" piece going vertically up to a fill on the roof because I kept getting an air bubble there. So the T is upside down with the straight thru going from cpu to rad and the vertical going upwards.
