EK Launches New Angled Mounting Brackets for 120/140mm Fan Mounting Holes
EK, the EU-based premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is introducing new L-shaped brackets for all current FLT series products. The EK-Loop Angled Bracket enables users to mount the FLT-style combo units or reservoirs to any 120 mm fan mounting holes in a perpendicular manner. This will allow more airflow to freely pass through the case and offer new mounting options that would otherwise be unsupported by the case itself.
EK-Loop Angled Brackets
The EK-Loop Angled Brackets can be mounted to 120 mm (105 mm hole spacing) or 140 mm (125 mm hole spacing) fan mounting holes. The bracket allows you to mount the FLT series products to your case, fans, or radiators in a perpendicular (at a 90-degree angle) alignment. Additionally, you can use the long or the short side of your FLT product for additional mounting options by rotating the product that is being mounted.
EK-Loop Angled Bracket - 120/140 mm
This bracket is used to mount the components with 140 mm fan mounting holes to 120 mm fan holes. For example, it allows the user to mount a 140 mm radiator, a 140 mm fan, or an EK-QuantumX Loophole Distroplate to a case mount for 120 mm fans.

This bracket is used to mount the components with 120 mm fan mounting holes to 140 mm fan holes. For example, it enables mounting a 120 mm radiator, a 120 mm fan, or an EK-Quantum FLT 120 pump-reservoir combo to a 140 mm fan mount.
This bracket and its rail system allow offsetting the product by about 10 cm because the screws are not in a fixed location. While engineered for FLT products, this bracket is not limited to the FLT product series. With a bit of imagination, you can also use it for mounting radiators or other products with 120/140 mm fan mounts.
Availability and Pricing
The EK-Loop Angled Brackets are made in Slovenia, Europe, and are available for pre-order through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. This product is expected to ship out mid-November 2023. The table below shows the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), VAT included.

Yep, it can be geared towards people with mid ATX and smaller cases or those that can't bottom mount their pump/res. This revision is actually better than the original in that it allows the distro or pump/res to allow some airflow. The original version flush mounts to the back of the rad almost completely blocking airflow.
~30 euros isn't too bad. You could make something similar yourself with cheaper materials or find a suitable bracket at a hardware store, but the results would vary depending on how fussy or skilled you are and the patience you have in finding/making something that fits. Having a ready-made product is admittedly a huge convenience and has the "factory-fit" feel to it.
