I'll be trying to line up the pump so it lines up better, hopefully only one elbow on the Outlet side, and a straght run to the 3 taps.
Im going to grab a PVC or Copper elbow (Probably PVE due to cost of copper) and goop it onto the pump intake. I'll cap off the other end and glue a barb/spigot into it. This is if I cant get the fiddling with the pump right. Would it be better to use a short lenght of PVC on the pump, so that the Inlet is not resticted by anything? Also I popped down to the truck shop down the road. They wanted $10 ($5 US) for a little 45° male - female adaptor. (Was going to put on GPU block |

I'd use a socket-to-thread adaptor (PVC), then screw in a reducer to whatever size hose you use.
That's what I did with my airtrap, and it worked great! It was a cinch to convert from 1/2 to 3/4. |

Another Option I just thought of for this sort of stuff is those electrical boxes that are often used for underground or on fences. Little white things designed to accept conduit and have a screw on lid. Come in T shapes as well as straight through for joins etc. You join the pump to the screw on lid/access thing. |

I did a test today.
Undid everything, and setup the whole system using no elbows. The pipe length might be double approx. No change in temp. I think my Rad airflow is seriously hapering performance, as even 1.8V (Tbred) with a C5 is pushing my cooling ability. So Im going to redo the shroud and also test with two fans in a push pull config. |
