Hey guys, im getting to the end of sorting my loop out (for now!) and I want to add some sort of way to drain the loop easily as currently its a nightmare and an accident waiting to happen.

What are your suggestions and what do I need to do them?

Cheers in advance.

I appreciate this is vague so thanks a lot of any feedback!
 
this is how i add drain ports. cheap effective and been doing it for years with no issues. Costs next to nothing to do as well.

A simple method could be a Y splitter with one path splitting off with a plugged short length of tubing, preferably to the lowest part of the loop to make draining easier.
 
Thanks for the feedback. I might go with the 'Y' splitter as im trying to achieve a professional look. Im aiming to have a draining section without it being obvious thats what its for, I know that might sound stupid but... yea...
 
Here is how I have done mine.

It needs to be at the lowest point in the loop if at all possible.
The only other consideration is that if you have any areas in your loop where the liquid has to go upwards these will not drain without adjusting case angle.
 
I like what you have done there...

I have a 800D Obsidian Corsair case and im planning on having the drain loop running into the bottom section of the case. The rest of the loop is all in the main section so the drain will definately be the lowest. Also as my PC is on my desk it would be easier for it to be as close to the case floor as possible anyway.

How would I cap the tube off though? I imagine ill need a fitting of sorts and a plug?
 
Krowzer lol where exactly is the drain loop on that?!

Also as a side note are those corsair fans any good? I see a lot of people using them lately, I thought the scythes were the god of all fans?

Thanks guys for the feedback im getting a much clearer picture of what I need to do!

Ha, as Blame said its at the base of the graphics card where i use a bitspower mini valve fitting connected to a 90 rotary.

It is a bit bulky but works very well.
 
Ok so im looking at getting a T-line of sorts. Would any of you fine chaps be able to spec me a t-line quickly? Or at least let me know exactly what ill need and of how many. Im thinking more of fittings to get it all connected here.

Cheers!
 
Hey people, I have very almost got a drain loop in but I need to get a fitting to screw my plug into.

Only thing is im having difficulty knowin which to get.

Which do I need?

Cheers!
