Are there better clamps for H20 cooling?

sneekypeet · Jul 1, 2007

I am in the hunt for clamps for my H20 system. All I seem to find is the Plastic (squeeze clamps), and the automotive style hose clamps. I want something better and cleaner. Is there such a creature?

Was thinking along the lines of 2 c's face to face with set screws maybe. Please send links or where I may purchase something like what I want. Thanks for lookin fellas! :toast:

thats a pretty clean looking idea....I'll have to look into those @ a local auto shop and take some goodies with me to see them in action...nice find.

Still looking tho concidering all ideas ,please if there are others please post!

I was gonna recommend frozencpu. they have some metal clamps for sale on there.

THX war I looked there ...just trying to get away from that cheesy automotive look and those plastic squeeze rings I just dont trust. May even change barbs and go compression if needed.

What tubing are you going to use 1/2 or 3/8 cuz I used metal hose clamps and it doesnt look bad double click for bigger pics http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/details.php?id=817

@ DOM and yogurt, I have it set up with those clamps and I think it just looks like a "cheap" way to do it . Just trying to look outside the box and pick some brains for ideas.

Something like this is what I'm looking for just on a smaller scale.
