Locating my missing marbles...

immudium · 02-21-2002, 10:51 PM

I am building a water cooling system with two identical Danger Den super cube radiators in parallel. Thus, the basic flow layout in my mind would be block>pump>y-connector1>radiators 1&2>y-connector2>block.

However, a thorough perusal of my local hardware shop failed to turn up any pipe even remotely resembling a letter Y and a good 45 minute scan of the forums and water cooling sites I frequent also has failed to locate the elusive letter Y. I checked out http://www.mcmaster.com and while they did have some general connecters that resembled said letter, they still didn't seem right. In my mind they should be just like the "T" connectors that Danger Den sells except that each arm of the Y is, of course, bent 135 degrees from the "trunk".

Could anyone possibly point me in the right online direction of this seemingly innocent part?

Thanks a million.

I wonder how accurate a marble would be fired out of one of them...

seriously though, the dtek one is quite good, it doesn't offer any flow resistance, the channels actually are 1/2

Fantastic! I really do appreciate the help. I was almost ready to consign myself to having to use a T-fitting to split the lines, which I guess wouldn't be all that disastrous, but a Y-fitting made so much more sense to me.
