adding a drain port to a loop

DataVampire · 29 Sep 2014 at 01:51

Hey guys I am after some more advice .

As mentioned in my previous posts, I am doing (or trying) to build a sort of no compromise wc loop to cool my system. and I want to do it correct. previous attempts I have always scrimped and saved where I can. but not this time I want to do it properly.

Now as the title says I have never added a easy method of draining/filling.

Co can you recommend me some fittings ect so I can add a drian system to my custom loop please.

Also a fillport(this will be inside the case as apposed to one that you drill a hole in your case for)

tubing il be using

Primochill Primoflex Advanced Tubing 19/13 - Clear

the fillport need to connect to the top of a EK Water Blocks EK-RES X3 250 Reservoir. or do you think I can mange without a fillport ?

thank you in advance.

What rads do you have? I drain my system by removing the g1/4 stopper at the bottom of my front rad

The way I did it was to add a koolance quick disconnect into my loop

ive got another quick disconnect that does onto a spare length of hose

when i need to drain my loop i disconnect the two in the main loop and connect it to the short length of hose and drain into a bottle/bowl
