Installation and mounting manual for EK-Dual DDC X-Top CSQ
This product is intended for installation only by expert users. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks assumes no liability
whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products, nor their installation. The following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at www.ekwb.com for updates. Before

The barb hose fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them in; otherwise the high flow fittings might break. These fittings do not need to be tightened with much force because the
liquid seal is made using O-rings. The use of an algaecide and corrosion inhibitors is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
STEP 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
STEP 2: PREPARING THE PUMP

Take your Laing DDC pump. Unscrew the screws that connect stock
top (usually you will need a Torx T20 head screwdriver) at the bottom
and put the top away as you don’t need it any more. Keep it for a
warranty reason if the pump stops working.
STEP 3: ASSEMBLING THE “EK-Dual DDC X-Top CSQ” WITH TWO PUMPS (if disassembled)
Take motor with impeller of your Laing DDC pump. Place it according to the picture. Do not forget to place back the stock O-rings into the pumps groove. Use
enclosed Allen key to secure the pumps with Four (4) M4×25 DIN 7984 and Four (4) Dumper DDC screws.
