Hey Guys,

I have ordered these compression fittings.

For these hoses.

When it comes to 90 degree fittings do I need to screw a compression fitting into them then the hose into the fitting or the hose directly into the 90 degree fitting?

Either way can someone suggest some 90 Degree fittings that would work with that hose size?

Also OCUK is out of mayhems H20 and I need suggestions on a good liquid for my loop lol.

Thanks in advance.

These to match your fittings.http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-092-MO&groupid=962&catid=2531. Or you can get the cheaper EK version. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-331-EK&groupid=962&catid=1529

Yes the fittings you have screw into the 90/45

Would i not need 5/8 outer diameter angeled fittings to match my compressions and hose.

No

So long as it's G1/4 threaded on both ends you're golden.

You're not attaching a tube directly to the 45/90 angled fittings. You need to fit a compression (if that's what you're using) fitting to the angled fitting and that interacts with the tubing.
