Hello... Just for common general use/design information... a "compression" fitting is typically used on the "High" pressure side of the system... or the Pump outlet... feeding the Pump will be the "Low" pressure side... and requires a less expensive fitting (barb/clamp?)and hose from the reservoir to the pump.

To keep it looking nice, use compression fitting all around, regardless of water pressure, going to barbs and clamps makes thing start looking ugly.

8 x compression fittings in total, however, before you go out and buy them, you need to start thinking about how and where you tubing is going to route, hard tubing or soft tubing, you will need extension fittings to clear the fans on the radiator if you're using push pull config, so if you are your going to need 2 x 20mm extention fittings, also think about angles, you may need some 90o or 45o angle bends, this is who I use for my parts, im in the UK, he's a great bloke, very helpful, and these are the parts I use (im using 7/16 tubing by the way):

You can mock up your entire system on www.ekwb.com and it'll tell you what type of, and how many fittings you need. It doesn't obligate you to use EK supplies, but it doesn tell you what you need, no matter where you source it from.
