Today we will assemble the DDC pump and the EKWB 100mm pump top.

We begin with... the pump.

On the underside are four screws to be removed.
You will need a T20 TORX screw driver for this job.
(although variations of this pump are said to have simple Philips screws)



Screws out.. you will find this happy place.

Now the tricky part... lolz.
With a small flat blade screwdriver, pry off the motor from the mounting.
It should just fall apart easy if you're under the right edge.



Again, find your happy place. this is what you'll find under the hood.

Here's where my cameraman dropped the ball.

Reassemble the pump motor and O-Ring back into the bottom mount of the pump.
Carefully orient the EK pump top onto the pump and flip it over so you can re-apply the screws.
EK thoughtfully supplies the standard Philips screws in the Top accessories.



Be sure to orient the cables appropriately...

That's pretty much it. don't forget the O-Ring... its very important seal.

now add some fittings. oo. the standard BP 1/2 OD straight fitting ... it don't work on this pump top...



a 90! no problem.



and a 45 as well.

Well, thats all. Here's the application in the Optical bay of the HAF932.



And of course the shout out to our best Canadian Watercooling Store ... YA!



So, thats it. Easy pie.
