How should i join my two 480 rads in 1000d

Using soft tubing currently and there was not enough space between to just used standard connections.

How do I need to achieve this ? Currently, I have an ugly bit of tube just hanging in case but looking to tidy it up.

You've got them both in the front? If it were me, I'd be looking to join the two inner ports - i.e. the two closest to each other with 2 90s, then a male to male of the requisite length. So no tube at all. You would need the male to male to be a rotatable one

i.e.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-water-blocks-ek-af-extender-20mm-m-f-g1-4-black-wc-9nh-ek.html

Those two give something that can join to each of the exposed female ends of the two 90s. You would need to get whatever extender is necessary added to the 14mm male-to-male to bridge the gap.

Similar to what miketimbers said
Though use an adjustable male to male
Like the sort used to sli cards

Yeah, I was looking for one of those on OCUK but couldn't find one other than a Phanteks one which is only 16-22mm which is real short.

Can probably find one on competition sites
Though can't mention their names obviously

Really stupid question but how do you put it together ? In my mind I cant seem to work out how I can manage to screw it all together.

Barrow and Bykski makes m/m extenders. Something like these?

Sizes i've found:
16-22mm
22-31mm
41-69mm
83-110mm

Just seach for Barrow Retractable Fitting or Bykski Expansion Join Extender

I'm guessing regardless of where the ports are facing (top or battom), both radiators will be side by side.. so on the left radiator, use a 90degree rotary and the right radiator a 90degree rotary... then rather use a tube connecting both together, use one of the above m/m fittings to join both rotary fittings together, so essentially one large radiator with left and right outer ports free

Cheers will get it all measured up thank you all for the help.
