Draining Loops - :D

Allnamestaken · 9 Dec 2013 at 20:24

Is it absolutely necessary for me to have a drain as part of my loop aka a hose leading off for me to drain the coolant? or is that something I can do without having to buy extra fittings? I may need to modify my current order if I need it for sure.

Haha your post XD

Guys is this a T valve?

So im assuming when my loop is going back at its lowest point which should be coming out the bottom radiator towards the res again I think, I would have this connection which would lead off to a seperate hose in which I would have a stop valve? which I could open or close? or?

I know that the loop would go through this connection back to the res anyway and the thirrd connection on the top of this fitting would be where it would lead off to what ever drain method i use lol.

Just not sure on the fittings.

Can you show me a picture of that mate?

I was thinking of doing that as I could just quick disconect at the low point in the loop pull the tubing out of the side of the case then connect the other pipe with the mail fitting and then allow it to flow?

So the male part of the disconect with seperate hosing is just a seperate piece you attach when draining right?

This seems like a much simpler solution then installing a T fitting with other parts.
