Question Kink in Soft Tube

[Durwesh Naeem]

Hey guys, as you can see in the attached picture, my soft tube, which connects my radiator to my distro plate, has a serious kink. What type of fitting do I need for my 10x16mm soft tube to prevent the bend from causing a kink?

Fitting?

Just curious:

Why not just a longer soft tube that can go out and loop around versus being "bent"?

Straight in. do away with the 90 degree elbow.

I wouldnt mess with it if your temperatures are fine. I doubt the flow is too limited. I would be more afraid of changing the tubing out and not getting a secure connection. Was that the type provided by the manufacturer?

the toolbox, they're always tight
Holding things together, day and night
A simple strip of plastic, yet oh so grand
Zip ties, zip ties, the handyman's best hand

Zip ties, zip ties, so strong and so fine
Keeping everything in place, all the time
They tie and they bind, with a twist and a spin
Zip ties, zip ties, the ultimate win!

So here's to the zip tie, a hero of might
A tiny but mighty tool, that shines so bright!
