Assembling the EK-Loop Angled Bracket
The EK-Loop Angled Bracket base piece features four slot holes that allow for adjustability. Larger slot holes enable adjusting the bracket's position by approximately 63 mm on each side. The side pieces can be screwed into the base through one or both of the slots.
Diagram showing the EK-Loop Angled Bracket base with dimensions indicating slot adjustability (63 mm on each side) and smaller slot holes (15 mm) on the side for radiator positioning.
For assembling the EK-Loop Angled Bracket – 140/120 mm, use the M4 x 4 DIN 7984 screws. The side parts have pre-threaded holes, so no additional washers or nuts are required for this assembly step.

Installing the EK-Loop Angled Bracket Directly into the Case
The EK-Loop Angled Bracket – 140/120 mm can be mounted directly into a PC case that has a mounting location for a 140 mm fan.
The 120 mm format FLT reservoir can also be mounted onto the EK-Loop Angled Bracket and secured together within the chassis.
Alternatively, you can drill four Ø4.5mm holes in the most suitable place on the wall of your computer chassis using an electric power drill.

After securing the EK-Loop Angled Bracket – 140/120 mm into the chassis, you can attach the FLT reservoir. Refer to the chapter "Attaching the Reservoir to the EK-Loop Angled Bracket" for details.
Installing the EK-Loop Angled Bracket Onto the Radiator
The EK-Loop Angled Bracket – 140/120 mm can be mounted onto a 140 mm format radiator using M4 x 5 mm Phillips head radiator mounting screws. Tighten the screws evenly without excessive force. No additional nuts are required.

This configuration serves as an adapter from a 140 mm radiator to a 120 mm format reservoir. The base brackets need to be rotated as shown in the illustration. The use of slots on the angled bracket base parts may be limited, especially if the bracket base is positioned near the radiator's inlet and outlet ports.
You can mount the bracket on either side of the radiator. For 280 and 420 mm radiators, the bracket can also be attached to the middle holes.
Two options for mounting are shown: "Option 1" and "Option 2: Only for 280 and 420 mm Radiators". These diagrams illustrate different mounting configurations on radiators of varying sizes.
Attaching the Reservoir to the EK-Loop Angled Bracket
Carefully position the 120 format FLT reservoir onto the EK-Loop angled bracket. Secure it using the enclosed M4 x 10 DIN 7984 screws and acetal standoffs. Ensure all four (4) screws and standoffs are adequately secured, but do not use excessive force when tightening.

If you choose to use the mounting holes located in the middle of the bracket, it will no longer be possible to adjust the position of the FLT reservoir relative to the radiator.

Attaching the Fittings
When using the EK-Loop Angled Bracket with FLT products, EK-Fittings are recommended due to their compatibility, ensuring a smooth installation process.
Before attaching the fittings, ensure the acetal standoffs are correctly placed. Incorrect placement risks scratching your FLT product, particularly when using EK-Torque HTC-16 Fittings.

Diagrams labeled "Option 1" and "Option 2: Only for 240 and 360 mm Radiators" show different reservoir and fitting configurations, possibly related to radiator size or orientation.
