Does Scan not sell 7/16" ID fittings or just me?

[blair]

Can anyone see 7/16" fittings at scan they have anti kink for 5/8" OD which is the hose which comes with the XSPC kits but i cant find any fittings as i need 2 right angled fittings.

The reason i wanted to get from scan is i have credit there.

Also another question how much coolant will i need for the XSPC rasa RS 360 kit?

A 1 liter bottle is enough.But you need at least 5 liter destilled water to flush the radiator and rinse components before installing the loop.

You put 7/16 hose on 1/2 fittings dude.

And you should really get your kit from a proper watercooling site like Specialtech

i am going to get the kit and coolant from special tech but i got £40 of credit at scan so i wanted to buy some fans and two 90 degree compression fittings with the £40.

now can you put 7/16 hose on 1/2 compression fittings?

Do you have to flush the loop first what does that do?

No mate you cant, but I hate compressions anyways

hmm its just i dunno about barbs as these will be outside the case and will be going back along the rad so i dunno if i could get a hose clip on if i used a barb. The rest of the fittings inside the case will be barbs.

Would these be ok? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/scan-63180-1-4-bspp-rotary-1-2-90-degree-hose-tail

Thanks for your help.

What coolant would you recommend?

 

[tinytomlogan]

If you cant get a hose clip on then comps will be too big too matey

ok ill get the barbs in my previous post will they fit? also what is the best coolant? and do i need to flush the loop out with distilled water first?

Thanks tom for your help!

 

[tinytomlogan]

you do need to flush everything out yes, but just use the tap matey as its about flushing sediment out

fluid wise theres sweet feck all in it matey

 

[blair]

and when you say flush it out just put one end under the tap and wash each thing out or do you mean assembled it fill res with water then run then empty it?

so 1L will be enough coolant?

 

[tinytomlogan]

flush the rad out with tap water in the bath for a bit, and I always buy 2 bottles of coolant minimum.

 

[blair]

okay ill get two.

Is this 90 degree barb ok? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/scan-63180-1-4-bspp-rotary-1-2-90-degree-hose-tail

and what fans would you recommend Tom?

Compression fittings used here look very nice.

Is this coolant good enough? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1l-feser-one-fluid-uv-blue-for-water-cooling-systems-(non-conductive-10-s)
