Hi Alex,

The bulk of my setup will be 1" pvc pipe, but I plan on using this stuff--initially:

General Purpose Air and Water Hose

I already have 1/4", 1/2" and 1" collecting dust, so I am going to incorporate the 1" into the system. It can handle the pressure, its aquarium safe (so it shouldn't affect the PC components) and is great for low temps. My only question is: What about high temps!.....??? We'll see. I'll probably contact USPlastics and find out the specs on it.

Anyway, I may or may not be able to use that tubing to connect to the inlet (1-5/16") on the rad. If not, no big deal--I'll just find some 1-1/4" tubing and do the "heat treatment" if necessary. My bigger problem is the rad outlet (1-9/16"), but I'll find the tubing that I need--one way or the other. It'll happen!


Nice adapter! Don't think I am going to need it, but what/where did you find it?


Anyway, the rad is shipping today. I'm trying to get a purchase list of plumbing parts together and intend to head to the store today or tomorrow. I'll let you know what I come up with.....


Have you connected to your rad yet, or are you still working that out....?
