Drain point for my humble loop

[Rasher]

Hi all. I’m going to be changing my old Tygon tubing after years of neglect . The pump is part of an XSPC Rasa kit along with a 280mm rad which is only used to cool the CPU. Problem is I have no drain point in the loop. Where can I place a drain point at in the loop ? Also I have no idea ref compression fittings as this kit used barb fittings. My new tubing is going to be 1/2 ID , 3/4 OD mayhem ultra clear with XSPC EC6 pre mix clear coolant. Any help with the drain position and exactly what parts i need would be greatly appreciated.

You would want the drain port at the lowest point in your loop ideally.

Here's my cut and paste for a drain port

Simplest option would be a normal drain valve , like this ;

Will look like this ;

Add a picture of your loop and i can show the best place
