Water cooling project 101

[spatman]

Well, here is my completed reservoir. I don't think it will have too much impact on flow, cause I used 1 1/2" PVC to construct an air trap and fill tube. I will fill it to about 2" from the top so the 2 qt. res will be completely filled with coolant and hopefully the air trap will keep the bubbles to the top of the trap.

Here is the res with the modifications, the barb is for draining and you can see the 1 1/2" fitting on top.

I made the inside flush so when I fill air will escape.

This is my 1 1/2" PVC air trap with the 5/8" ID return line attached and end cap.

This is how it looks put all together.

I used plumbers goop for all the seals with 2 layers. The return line is connected straight in to the end cap of the Y. The last two seals to be made are the Y to the res and pump to res, but I will do this when I install it in the rad box.
