Monsoon Hardline advice

Hi all,

So I am thinking about using some hardline tubing and fittings in my Parvum build. This would be a first time for me so advice would be great!

Here is what I will be getting. (do i need to worry about anything else, am i missing anything?)

Tubing

I am thinking its best to go for the smaller tubing as my case is tiny.

which is better to work with, what do you guys recommend?

Thanks.

I'd suggest more tubing than you think you need

Unless you're experienced with acrylic.
I've got the 13mm, not worked with both so can't comment on which is easier

yeah, you need it to get the wee collar on the tube, there's a vid in the other thread, 2 secs

Hi, Thanks for that.

Do you know if you can get the collars separate incase you have to drain or want to use the same fittings in a different build?

They are not currently in stock but that question was asked and they are incoming

13mm looks nice and tidy, I was half tempted to go for the larger stuff but I'm glad I didn't.

Few tips -
Make sure you have more tubing than you need, its always better to have spare than screw up a few tubes and have to order some more. Although it depends how long you want your tubing runs, I went for quite long runs so 1 tube pretty much between each part.
Dont glue the caps on your tubing until you are 100% sure your loop is correct and you're happy with it, once there glued on theres no going back!
Make sure the top part of the fittings is on the tube before glueing the caps on, they wont slide over with the caps on.
Dont be afraid to do complex tube runs, just make sure you plan out the best way to do things first! xD Some bits I did took me a few attempts because I just winged it!
