  • Ek a240g

    I am looking to run the EK A240G kit on my new Ghost S1 build. Only issue I see is draining the system. Can anyone recommend a 3 way G1/4 splitter, ball valve and plug that is either aluminum or acrylic?

    I have some acrylic 3-way splitters, not in use brand new.
    Not knowing where you will find a valve though.

      If you want to stick to Aluminum or Acrylic ball valve you should try a local plumbing supplier, one that specializes in accessories for fixtures. I personally have not seen either Aluminum or Acrylic valves for PC cooling. I'l try to ask around and if I can find out anything Ill post back in here.

        The 240G kit is well priced and exactly what im looking for with my little Ghost S1 build. Seems odd that EK wouldnt offer more parts, although i do see a T fitting on their site, just to ball valve or plug.

        I did find this cheapo on amazon:

            Hey Overkill, If you don't want to use a Darkside or Bitspower valve, you could try this setup.






            I picked up the Koolance G 1/4 to NPT 1/8 adapter (Part # ADT-G14M-N18F) from Daz a while back. I think it was the last one. I use it for leak testing but in a case like your S1 it may help to route a 1/4 inch tube to a remote drain point. These valves do a good job of sealing, at least for my purposes.

                Not sure what you mean. Hard tube or soft tube, a person still needs to drain system at some point for whatever reason. A drain valve makes it much easier to drain, and less of a chance of water getting places it shouldnt. I incorporate a drain valve in every water build.
