T-Line placement in loop - makes a difference?

[Monkey Puzzle]

As title - does where it is in the loop make a difference? I was going to put it after a radiator and before the graphics card block...

It makes things easier if you put it at the top of the loop for filling, bottom of the loop for bleeding, before the pump makes it easier too. But in theory you can place it wherever you want.

Just takes a hell of a lot longer to fill but if space is needed go for it,i had mine fitted to my D5 pump.

I don't have a water cooled system, but going on hydraulics... why would you want the bleed at the bottom when the air travels up?

I can see if it is on something like a brake caliper where the nipple is at the bottom of the loop but at the top of the brake caliper where air may be trapped.... is it for a reason like this?

i've always put them just before the pump intake

doesn't REALLY matter, all the air comes out eventually tbh

obv takes a lot longer to get it all out compared to a res!

I meant a T line at the bottom of the loop for draining the system, not bleeding - my bad.

It has more of a practical use than a performance use, never used one myself though

My god T-lines are a nightmare to fill, and I don't look forward to bleeding - really wish I had space to put my finned XSPC res somewhere. I filled the loop after quite a bit of jiggling and then my pump decided to cut out. Decided to clamp the tubes rather than than bleed the whle system to take the pump apart. . Running pumpless underclocked with fans at full whack atm!
