Im looking for a tubing connector so it has compression fittings on both ends rather than a G 1/4" on end.

Looked on ocuk website and cannot see them anywhere! Anyone point them out for me?
 
Not a bad idea mate, think i will do that unless someone else has any better ideas.

Im really surprised that OCUK dont have these types of fittings!
 
I think you can still get a clean look if you have a clean fitting. I just dont see why companies dont make them as much anymore. You can easily get a clean L bend with a fitting without all the edges and ugliness.
 
oh nice one! didn't think of looking in the bitspower section.
so you can use what mole said, unless you decide to create a drain, then use the T fitting.

but if you're using soft tube, won't it just hang with the weight of the fitting?

Surely you just want one of these - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-484-BP&groupid=962&catid=2589
With a compression fitting on each end?

Edit - Or just one of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-499-BP&groupid=962&catid=2589 then you don't need the separate fittings.

I'll show you what I mean once I've done it but it won't hang or sag I assure you.

yeah you would have thought that they'd still include it with the rest of the fittings!

and actually yeah now I think about it, if you measure it properly it shouldn't.

Exactly, just confuses people unless you've looked in there before.

Yeah if you pull it tight to the top and not let it sag then it will be fine. Just need to make sure I take the correct measurements and abit of trial and error.
 
Just ordered the components i need. Should be with me for next week so i can crack on with the alterations.

Still looking for a gtx 680 FC EK waterblock (pre CSQ) if anyone has one?
