I am planning to build my first custom water loop in the summer, but I am getting pretty confused about all the different fittings. I am going to be using PETG tubing, and will be bending it. The one question I have is are there fittings that specifically go into radiators, or can I just use the fittings that I listed down below.

The Fittings I will be using:

Also should I go Black and Red or Black and Blue for my build? ( I can't decide )

Thanks In advance
 
I personally love bits power fittings. Theyre the best IMO

You need to match the Inner Diameter (ID) and the Outer Diameter (OD) on the fittings to the ID and OD of the tube, common sizes are 3/8" and 5/8"

Red and Blue seem to be done quite a lot, maybe try a different colour like Green or yellow or something? Just and idea

What coomponents are you using (if you have any) and whats you budget for the loop?
 


I will use Monsoons 1/2 ID 5/8 OD tubes, inside the Fractal Design Nano S. The two radiators are Alphacool St30 240mm radiators, the CPU block will be Phanteks CPU Block, and the Gpu block will be Phanteks founders edition Block
