Tubes inside the radiator

Hi , does anyone know if the tubes inside a radiator are in series with each other or in parallel , I ask because I am about to add a single rad to the back of my case and wondered if I can get away with the flow and return being at the bottom.

What rad is it some rads only have to ports others put more on to make it easier to make your loop easier so shouldn't be a problem mate

It is a corsair single , only two ports , just thinking if I mount the connections at the bottom it might be an air trap

I've got a front 360 with ports on the bottom, orientation makes no difference, bleeding is bleeding, air traps are air traps.

Enough finicking, flicking, pinching, tilting and shaking will get it all out in the end

Ok great I will go for the ports at the bottom , will make it tidier in the loop
