So i am working on a new update to my rig in my sig,

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18759071

A nice boxes of goodies turned up today, with all my XSPC PETG Tube and fittings to match. so now it’s time to start thinking about how to pipe this?

Any views on these two configs, I want to avoid using 90 elbows. As I can’t find any that match the fittings.

Like that you're not going to just fill it with 90 degrees, props for that mate... The bends will look great. I'm not sure it will make a difference either way so i'd say the top one is the cleanest route...

If you havent done hardline before:

1. Olive oil is amazing to lubricate the insert for your PETG - you have got the insert right? Wash it out with soapy hot water after and rinse with distilled.

2. Mini pipe cutter from B&Q, £3 very well spent for clean straight cuts

3. Make sure the insert fits tight, don't rush heat the tube and look closely you'll see the olive oil start to move around when its pretty much as the perfect temp to bend

Good luck!
