The reason I held my caliper long ways instead of sideways (perpendicular to the fittings) is because the teeth fit within the threads and would not have been as accurate. Let's focus a little less on the things that dont matter as much, and more about the content, mmkay?

[@georgf9279]

+JayzTwoCents That's why you normally hold a caliper SIDEWAYS on a thread - not using the tips of the caliper, but a little bit further, where the caliper gets thicker. Hope you appreciate learning something.

[@wsxgfhccr]

+JayzTwoCents Why didn't you just run the tubing through the hole instead? Save you the trouble of having another 3 fittings and 3 points of failure?

[@Jayztwocents]

+Georg F I love learning new things!

[@Jayztwocents]

+wsxgfhccr Really?

[@Mistermoeshmoe]

+wsxgfhccr Because that wouldn't look near as good.

[@garethcourts6245]

Nice. I've had an idea knocking around my head on how to watercool an FTZ01. I was thinking of maybe mounting the reservoir externally so I could keep an eye on levels without cracking the case every week or so. The bulkhead fittings would make the actual interface between reservoir, fittings and case look really neat and professional. Thanks Jay.

[@Trylen]

seems you honestly put your blood sweat and tears into your builds *smirk* If the PC is mine, I tend to do the same nearly every time I open the case.

I think this would be a great time to use your authority and make that lan truck thing you thought about in the "How to choose a power supply" video! I can tottaly see you, Paul, Austin, Logan, Jerry, Kyle, Linus, Dmitri, Marques... Travelling around wherever and make a serie of some amazing videos for all of your viewers combined!

[@ROllieHorne]

amazing timing of this video I was just trying to figure out if I wanted the holes option for my caselabs case and play it safe or make my own holes for a cleaner look. I think I'm going to go for it. thanks Jay!

[@FredPalmerJr1]

I gotta say. When the time comes to do my case with the water cooling upgrade... I will be definitely returning to all your videos for references. Thanks for the simple mans know how.. Cause I am not a rocket scientist by any means.. Just passionate about detail .. This Phantek Enthoo Luxe (White) case is going to turn heads when I get through with it. Case Mod cables and a whole lot of Wow !!!

[@JustinMurray170fin]

Alright? Nice vid as per. Do you have footage of your process in deciding where to drill & more importantly the actual drilling. Pilot-hole? Sanding? Tips'n'Tricks sort of thing.

[@Jedicake]

I've been curious about this for a very long time. Thanks, Jay.

[@rynebennett162]

No doubt about it this is one of my favorite KZbin channel

[@NeoVoodooTech]

Maybe it's because it's 420 but this video is so HD it's nearly 3D! Your popping out of my screen Jay!

[@brianstonecipher4767]

wow i didnt even know bulkhead fittings existed, this will make the build im planning look even better. was just gonna pass tubing through some round rubber grommets

[@EndUser-yu7gg]

Still very useful old video ... thanks Jay!

[@miles11we]

worth adding that when going through sheet metal with a twist drill bit, its worth brassing off your bit to prevent it from grabbing when going through.

[@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ]

You can also use them as fill ports if you add a simple G1/4 "Screw Plug" (as in a cap) to it.

[@JaykobStevens]

Love these watercooling videos!

[@coffeefoot]

Good job, Jay !

[@mindsfun-4579]

How did you mount the piece of acrylic to the bottom? Are the passthrough fittings holding it in place? Or is there some other magic at work?

[@zgrooms1010]

Great looking case and build!

[@undergamer189]

Hi Jay, i have plans to build the same WC system than you there: Cpu + vrm loop and vga loop. So do you have some video describing all parts do you use? I mean, like a list of components? Brands, size of parts, etc.? Anyway, i'm using a Asus x99 Deluxe and 5960x at 4,8Ghz with H100GTX. Thanks!

[@mortenbygvraarasmussen5427]

Have you used the EK-AF Pass-Through over the Bitspower one before? By the looks of it, the outer thread doesn't seem to have enough grip to fit on a thicker plate, like your acrylic midplate. I am designing a system where I'd like to use all EK nickel fittings and I need to go through a 5mm acrylic plate four places, but I fear their pass-through fitting is going to require an additional flat counter-sink to be able to tighten properly. Thanks for a great video. I can add that the names I've come across for these fittings range from bulkhead, pass-through, casetop water-fill, and many more. The Bitspower model name is BP-BSWP-C04 (Black Sparkle -- replace the BS with other version, i.e. MB for Matte Black, etc.).

[@Stephen8454]

Hey Jay, any reason why I wouldnt just drill a whole and feed the tubing through? I am about to do my first loop and I am going with flex tubing. I only need one whole drilled threw my PSU shroud.

[@FontLite]

Great video as always.

[@james2042]

hey Jay, just wanted to let you know because of you I just finished my first custom loop. doing a leak test right now and hopefully I'm good.

[@AnimosityGamers]

I love my uni-bit (step bit). I use it for electrical but its so amazing for anything with metal.

[@TooloxAlfa]

3:25 How NOT to measure with a caliper.

[@Jayztwocents]

+Jerikman If I turned it the other way, then it would have measured the INSIDE of the threads, get it now?

[@TooloxAlfa]

+JayzTwoCents no, no. no. You are supposed to use the thicker part of the jaws. Trust me, Jay I work with these every day.

[@Jayztwocents]

+Jerikman I get what you are saying

[@nikumeru]

+JayzTwoCents What Jerikman said, one more thing, apply a really small amount of pressure on the caliper when measuring, just enough to make sure you're making good contact with the part. I've been working with parts that require 0.01mm precision at a cnc machine shop for 10 years now. Cheers!!!

[@TheTopTechnology]

+Jerikman it doesn't matter with tolerances this large

[@jamiecromartie566]

The BitsPower are listed as a Passthru/FillPort fitting on PPC's (just a note to add to what you stated in vid). . BTW love those red Doms in Red Mist

[@forestR1]

ever considered mains pressure flexi hoses? acrylic/glass looks great, but what about braided stainless steel hoses for something ...a little different?

[@Blurberry-oz6id]

Question, can you use this fitting as like an “adapter”? So I’m trying to have a mixture of rigid tuning and using it as an adapter to soft line tuning. Is this a bad idea due to leaks?

[@SgtAMYNTAS]

JayzTwoCents and his one inch bulk head wonders 😉

[@Morm0ns]

Can these bulkhead fittings be used to secure a reservoir to the floor? I'm using a Tower 900 and really do not like the brackets forcing the res to be up against a wall. I'd love to just be able to keep in on the floor

[@hikaru-live]

Can I use those fitting on walls, as in house walls, so I can run pipes within insulated walls and throw the reservoir, pumps and and radiator out of the room?

[@davehodges7399]

Red skunk mist works! ☺

[@chadkoyan3096]

love the content jay keep up the good work.

[@kevinbender5839]

Love this video! Please do more stuff like this

[@winterx6133]

What case do you use Jay? would love to get a bigger case myself.

[@erkkiboy]

is it soon time to review the GIGABYTE GTX TITAN X XTREME? would be cool to see it compared to a regular titan x....and also the 980ti of course...

[@LopezGBZ]

Excellent video

[@andriprobst1651]

I loove those oberkill, clean builds

[@Szarella]

Love your videos Jay ! keep them comming love this log about Red mist ! Want more!

[@radtech246]

Useful information as ever Jay! :D

[@TheEstemiNO]

you should make a series cammet water drop or something similar! i could be smal pc tips and things like this, lots of short and helpful videos. good work! :)

[@sparkplug1018]

Blood, sweat and tears Jay. Ingredients to any good build.

[@darkdemise99]

This might be a silly question but couldn't you just drill a hole and get a grommet from the hardware store and pass a solid piece of tube through the grommet? And have one less possible point of failure or leaks?

[@iGuard1aN]

Lol! You're a funny dude Jay. Keep them videos coming!

[@boatrat]

"Skunk-Mist"?? THAT doesn't sound good.

[@stevie-ray2020]

That is what you get if you upset a skunk isn't it!?!

[@Twinfire]

+boatrat74 Red Skunk?

[@nimoon]

Mistworks

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

Hey Jay, what fittings would you recommend for a black, red and chrome/steel theme with copper tubing? I will be needing T-fittings, L-fittings, bulkheads and regular fittings but im struggling finding fittings for all these kinds that fit the theme. :(

[@ThorsonWiles]

That's a blood sacrifice, the final product build will go well. Oohh, Blood Myst

[@theskyjaz6732]

Jay quick advice windows 7 or windows 10 (for editing and recording gameplay) thanks

[@Vladek16]

a like just for the intro, i didn't finished the video yet i allready like it ^^

[@ptbrian1016]

not that i dont know but i think it would of been helpful also to show others how to line up were to drill the hole using the flashlight technique

[@static369]

Awesome video.

[@BritishTeaLover]

Awesome video! Are you going to be doing any more work with glass tubing in the future?

[@Jayztwocents]

+MrSMILEY1699 Yep, both Red Mist and Skunkworks are getting glass!

[@BritishTeaLover]

***** Can't wait!

[@jacobjstoffer]

+JayzTwoCents are you going to do glass when pascal gpus are released?

[@TheFilledk]

hey jay, even tho its easy (at least for me) plz make a video on how to stability test your brand newly build PC (like burnin testing and stuff)

[@siarthur]

jay have you tried doing watercooling on old cases was planning ona mod project on my lian li pc2010b but i have no idea how to start fabrication of rad mounts and fan mounts

[@isoinebriation5060]

Hey Jay, just wondering. Besides the slight aesthetic plus, is there any benefit using the pass through fittings rather than just drilling a hole for the tubing itself?

[@Jayztwocents]

+Dallas Blackburn Well as long as you make sure the edges arent sharp, not really

[@Fratm]

+Dallas Blackburn The pass through look a lot nicer. That alone makes it worth it, I think.

[@isoinebriation5060]

Ok, just didn't know if there was a structural benefit or anything. It does look very clean, I just wouldn't be able to justify spending $10 a fitting to essentially make a shiny hole being as I'm a broke college student. Love the video's Jay, thanks for the quick response.

[@Pereginus1]

Hey Jay, do you know a Canadian supplier that sells these type of fittings?

[@heke0]

I, too cut myself every time I mess with the internals of my computer. There's always something sharp poking out somewhere and my fingers always seem to find those. Anyway, thanks for the insightful video. I did get that "A-HA" moment, and also felt a bit stupid for not realizing it earlier.

[@romayojr]

Talk about pipe fittings next Jay.

[@birkastrand7900]

Where did you get those red Dominator Platinum caps?

[@Toxic-Tron]

and thank you for all the vids

[@AsesinodeNoche]

It's okay Jay, your jokes made me laugh!

[@firecrow7973]

so if your running things through the floor do you plan on having a radiator/res/pump setup in the basement?? #Jayzwholeroomwatercooling

[@JimmyDali]

Very informative video on what some people would overlook & think trivial. Well done J. lol on your reference on how to make babies XD

[@QuiznosBear]

you should get the step bit swapped out for a 13/16" bit. especially since, with the plastic, your thickness of material > step size.

[@billyashworth3944]

Hey Jay! Could ya do a vid detailing which coolant is the best for maintenace purposes (like one that doesn't get all gunky)! Thanks and love the content!

[@james2042]

distilled water with a silver kill coil will always be the least gunky as long as you prep your loop well

[@billyashworth3944]

+James Mastroianni Cheers!

[@james2042]

+Billy Ashworth and just so it's not some random dude saying this, Jay has said this in many of his videos that up until skunkworks with the yellow, he just used distilled water with a touch of biocide.

[@billyashworth3944]

Thanks. It's just I wanna do some watercooling but I kinda wanna pick up an old pc to try first so just wanted the best and easiest methods (I'm in no rush to do mine so that's why I'm content with trying on an old P.C. first). Lined up an old rig and a cheap 580... Hmmmm

[@james2042]

+Billy Ashworth you're going to need something with supported waterblocks, also I just did my first loop on my main pc and it was painless and easy, just get an idea of what you want

[@Djay0Epizode]

jay is building vampire !

[@quabledistocficklepo3597]

I need a watertight bulkhead, but I'm having trouble finding the size that I need. Here's the problem: My problem is obtaining the proper size bulkhead. The hole is 1-1/2" in diameter, but the shank of the bulkhead must be at least 2", and preferably 2-1/2" or 3". I've been to many Internet stores, but I've found it impossible to find what I want. Can you help? Oh, just to be sure, I will be screwing a 3'4" faucet into the outside end of the bulkhead.

[@StAlchemyst]

How babies are made: "Just put it in the hole. Wiggle it around a bit, and things happen." -Jaystwocents 2016- Finally a definitive answer to the subject. Today is unquestionably a new era for humanity. Feeling just a little "smart assy" today. ; )

[@tbggaming4385]

What case do you have?

[@peytonwakham22]

A new video? Automatic like

[@JediSoulfly]

Should have talked about rubber grommets, since it is a much cheaper way to pass tubing through walls and/or floors. I mean depending on the fittings, you're looking at anywhere between probably a minimum of $20, to in some cases upwards of $30-50 per pass through. Compared to under $1 per pass through for a rubber grommet.

[@ajkem-ing5781]

Can not wait for the finish product of the Red Mist >_

[@bigtrucker26]

Just face it Jay, your just more vulnerable when it comes to your computers..... ;)

[@newport5504]

how can you line up your res with the passthroughs? and how do you put hardline tubing in between the res and the passthroughs? thank you

[@james2042]

if you really want to you can use a pencil and a ruler to draw a straight line down the panel and across the floor. just go light on the pencil so it erases cleanly

[@newport5504]

James Mastroianni thanks james for your reply, but putting in hard tubing from the res to the passthrough does it have to be perfectly cut to size? just looks like it would be hard to get the hard tubing into the res and passthrough

[@james2042]

+newport5504 well remember if it's too long as long as the bend is okay you can always cut a little more off

[@victortodea5263]

Jay, is your kid watching your videos? 😂😂, really usefull video!

[@alexandsimba]

Jay call it Red Panda. :D

[@ethanmartin2781]

how do you line up the fittings with the reservoir though? That was the part that always confused me

[@OneDraq]

I thought he shined a light through the reservoir or something idk.

[@wwShadow7]

Use some vaseline and a file to smooth the hole edges and you might not cut yourself as much. The vaseline to catch most of the filings so you don't have to deal with that stuff going where it doesn't belong. Or, slice and dice and drive on.

[@LemmingRush_]

holy shit, this computer looks amazing

[@JATMN]

Glad to know im not the only one that cuts the hell out of myself working in a case.. lol

[@DizzzyKipper]

Jay I know your a family man but why are you not at Lan Syndicate?

[@Jayztwocents]

+DizzzyKipper Because its over, and Lan Syndicate is not as important as my daughters Birthday!

[@visdom0]

+JayzTwoCents Your daughter's birthday is the 18th? Mine too!

[@DizzzyKipper]

+JayzTwoCents Sweet! Happy Birthday Little Mr & Mrs, J's.I did not mean to offend.Just curious.

[@Jayztwocents]

+visdom0 No, not the 18th, but it was during Lan Syndicate

If only linus knew about these before whole room water cooling

[@leedunlap92]

great vid.yooooooooo jay do u think u will ba able to do a budget water cooled loop or build?

[@ivanboy5242]

He allready did Just look up on his old vids

[@AFpaleoCon]

It's called air cooling.

[@leedunlap92]

+xXxBlackwaterXxX what

[@leedunlap92]

+Wonder Boy I know he did I'm asking Jay if he can do a budget custom loop like 130$ challenge something like that

[@leedunlap92]

where can u find a supplier? lie do u have any info.

[@t4teeee697]

Anyone know when the car channel will be up

[@utahnl]

It kinda amazes me that every time I build a pc, my fingers always seem to find some sharp edge and unless i start leaving blood marks on my build, I only notice it afterwards.
