How to get from here to there?

post #1 of 23
Thread Starter 


Having trouble not getting a bendy tube in to cpu here. Any ideas/solutions? Trying to keep the tubing straight for the components. Would be fine without the ek bridge, but was hoping to use it.

Many thanks.

If you could remove both fittings and take a pic, it would be easier to solve the problem.

Hi. No, a 45 on cpu block means same issue - bendy tube. Maybe unavoidable with this EK bridge?

Bitspower makes 30 and 60 degree angle adapters as well as 90's and 45's so if you want to get precise about it you could take some measurements and figure out the exact combination of angles that will give you a straight tube. Another approach would be snake-style 90 degree triple rotaries, those pretty much give you unlimited angles but are a lot bulkier, and especially with that short span might look kinda cludgy. A third idea is you could try to do a hard connection without a tube by using various extensions and rotary angled adapters.
