In
order for reservoir to function properly one port must be used as an inlet and one as an outlet. Unused ports must be closed with plugs using enclosed 6mm
Allen key!

RECOMMENDED RESERVOIR CONFIGURATION:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1.
When using ports #2, #3 or #4 it is mandatory to use the enclosed
EK-Extender G1/4
(EAN: 3831109845165) due the ports being recessed into the plastic Reservoir Bottom and
Top.
2.
When using EK-Extender G1/4 make sure not to use fittings or barbs with G1/4 thread
longer than 5mm! All
EK-ACF
and
EK-HDC
fittings are compatible!
3.
When using ports #1, #2 and #3 make sure not to use fittings or barbs with diameter
larger than 25mm! All
EK-ACF
and
EK-HDC
fittings are compatible!
4.
EK recommends the use of EK-ACF fittings. When using fittings other than EK-ACF series
please use hose clamps or appropriate substitute to secure the tubing to the barb. The use
of biocide containing and corrosion inhibiting coolant is always recommended for any liquid
cooling system.
TIPS AND ADVICES:
-
Using a horizontal pass-through configuration (using ports #1 as outlet #4 as inlet) will
yield in most optimal hydraulic conditions but may result in difficult initial bleeding of air in
low restriction- or high pumping power water cooling systems.
-
When using a top feeding vertical configuration (using ports #1 and #4 as inlet/outlet) you
may experience severe vortex issues. Using a PE foam as will remedy this issue. Please see
STEP 3!
To connect RES X3 Lite with XTOP Revo Dual
D5 you need to use enclosed Male-Male Extender.
Extender have threat longer than 5mm!!!
