what do you use to cap off a T res?
hi all,
i finally got all my watercooling parts except what to use to cap off my T-reservoir. tubing is clearflex60 1/2". I'm not too sure what to look for when i head back to home depot. any recommendiations appreciated. btw, if it matters, all my clapms are worm clamps. thanks! |
I use a brass fitting that has a barbed end and a threaded end, and get a brass cap to close it up. I got them from Home Depot.

bolt with rubber grommet (for my 3/8). You can get these rubber grommet/vibration absorbing things in various sizes at radioshack
also used a marble before, but hard to remove |
Welcome to the forum Braddogg!
Thanks for the suggestions both Braddog and kibbler. Would either of you have pictures of your cap on (closed) and off (open for filling)? |
I don't have a digital camera yet. So I don't have any pictures yet.
|
i'm pretty sure what you mean by a brass fitting that's barrbed/threaded, but not sure what the brass cap is.
|
The brass cap is basically just a end cap that screws onto the fitting to close it. You will find them at Home Depot with the other brass fittings.

Try a 1/2" pvc plug. Cost like 30 cents.
|
How about a tap?
|
I use a PVC-plug.

Plastic pipe/tube end cap. The kind of thing that goes on the end of metal chair legs...
A markerpen cap/lid is good as well... |
Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up getting a nylon 1/2" barb with threaded end. shoved the barb into the tube and the threaded end outside. a screw-on pvc cap is used to close it up.
