Diminished size Y splitters

putwig · 08-August-02, 02:09 PM

Ok gang. Look at this pic:

See where the cpu in water line splits into two? I looks like a 1/2" that splits into two 3/8" lines.

I need that fitting. I also need the same thing but 3/8" y split to two 1/4" lines.

It is important that the splits are "Y" 's and not "T" 's.

Any of you guys come across these beyotches? I have looked high and low!

Funky Fresh where the hell are you?

They look a lot like hose splitters i used once on an underground sprinkler system. The newest sprinkler lines are all soft plastic rather than rigid PVC stuff. the fittings in that pic look a lot like the same dark grey plastic fittings found in the lawn and garden dept of home stores. Using one large inlet line to split into 2 smaller lines to maintain water pressure.

Try Home Depot or another home store that has a GOOD selection of Lawn irrigation mix and match pieces.

Good luck'

and on another note, he is using liquid cooling on his RAM. thats extreme if I ever saw it! holy crap!

It is from a site called Liquid Ninjas . Terrible name (cheeze) I was just there reading a swifty vs. maze 3 shout out. That rig was the test bed.

I knew I had come across those fitting somewhere in my lifes travels...I think you hit the nail right on the head BZA! Thanks!

I can not believe your crying for Funky Fresh to help you out with water cooling gear

I am hurt

Try BeCooling

BTW, if you loose too much water pressure by splitting the lines, (even with the reducers, the more fittings, etc, the more resistance and less flow), then you may find that you are trading cooling performance even though you arn't passing heat from component to component. It is tricky to work out, not impossible, tricky and probably fun too.

Sorry lcpiper! I just always think of FF as Morgan Freeman in the Shawshank Redemption. You know, the "guy that can get you stuff".

Those reducers are new to Becooling, last time I was looking for this very thing they had the Y splitters, but not the Y splitter/reducer.

Thanks to you both. Sorry I hurt your feelings lc!

Na, don't be, you really didn't.

But I was typing my ass off to get that post in before someone else beat me too it. I would'a looked like a dooof if I hadn't been first
