Step 1: Cut the tubing to length – Make sure all tubes are of equal
length!

Step 2: Insert the tubes and fasten the clamps to each waterblock

Step 3: Install the fittings to the bridge

Installation of the upper and lower fittings will depend on how your loop is
routed. Two typical examples are shown below.

Fasten the fittings until they completely mate with the bridge: the metal
flange of the fitting must sit flat against the surface of the bridge, thus
compressing the O-ring, and then tighten them using a 5/8” (15mm)
wrench or socket as described below.

CRITICAL READ: The tightening force (torque) must be firm but not
excessive: not enough torque and the fitting will get loose and leak
over time, and too much torque will permanently damage the plastic
thread. Ideally, you want to add one quarter of a turn after the fitting
has reached its mating surface.

WARNING:

NEVER install the upper and lower barb fittings in the same vertical
alignment, or there will be no flow to the water-blocks!

Example 1: both inlet and outlet go
ports go upwards

Example 2: one port goes upwards,
and one port goes downwards.

Step 4: Attach the bridge to each graphics card
Slip the loose clamps over the tubes, and then push each

graphics card into the bridge fittings. Finally, fasten the clamps.

Step 5: Install the cards back into your motherboard, and
complete the connections to the rest of your loop.
