Drain line

Tackle_Berry · 25 Mar 2013 at 14:16

Hi,

Thinking about putting in a drain like this, so basically I can just undo the stop cap underneath the case to drain the loop. My question is will having a tube of around 15cm coming of the reservoir down to the drain port be a issue for flow as it the fluid will just flow down and then stop.

EDIT although I am using a T at the end, there will be nothing coming out the other side. This will just be a seperate line coming of the res just to allow me to drain.

thanks, gone with mayhems UV blue.

I may put a ball valve coming of the res maybe to prevent that.

Thanks for pointing that out, how about if I connect it to the pump top?

Case is a 650D. This layout will be changed a little (200mm rad in front) when I add in GPU in 6 months time.

How about this using a EK D5 top mounted this way:

When I add GPU and 200mm rad:

So what your saying is how it stands if I remove the stop cap to drain the loop from the bottom the water pressure may not let it drain, therefore I would need to remove the top cap from the reservoir? But doing so may allow water to push out the reservoir top?

See what your saying, didn't know about that. I may run a fill port to the top of the case then. Thanks
