fitting question

Hi just a quick one. if i use the 2 fitting linked could i make an adapter to go from the rigid tubing to normal tubing

i love the look of the rigid tubing but as my pump is hidden i think getting all the bends right would be a pain in the bum.

yes you could, you'll need a female-female connector though. I found it easier to sue a rad as the change though.
rigid into the rad, flex out then through mid-plate

the EK-HD Adapter is female, that why i put the 2 together

you are right,
and I'm an idiot
that'll work then. I would be cautious when tightening the compression fitting, but should all work

YAY!

it did look right in my head but sometimes the simple things that look right aren't and i didn't want to test it and kill a system

Well, another thing to think about, the EK fitting is 'push-on'
it won't like weight being on it, or tugging.
there's other acrylic fittings that have a compression part to screw on. or pass the acrylic to a bulkhead in the mobo tray.
just suggesting a few options.

mmm yer push on i would say = fall off.
i will have a look at other fitting.
