Getting back into watercooling advice

[B1gbeard]

Looking to get back into watercooling again and below is my current basket. Not sure if I need the Pump Bracket with that case and the Corsair rad is there as the EK one I wanted is not in stock. It all looks OK I think /crossesfingers.

I was wondering if someone could do a little basket for the extra bits needed to add an easy to use drainage valve/port.

Thanks in advance.

For drain just need
A T piece usually 3 x g1/4 female
A male to male g 1/4
A ball valve ~female g 1/4 both
Ends
And a g 1/4 blank/stop
For end of ball valve just to
Be on the safe side

Does what I have added make sense? A compression fitting for one side of the Y to continue the loop and a valve for the other (may need a male to male to attach valve to Y?)

Not sure also if tubing goes directly into Y splitter or need another fitting.

Yes makes sense
Yes a male to male to connect ball
Valve
Other side of Y is male g 1/4
Need a female to female
If want to connect tubing there
Nothing needed if its
Going to pump or reservoir

Ah OK so I could just connect Y directly into pump/res and have one fitting going in to continue loop and other for drainage? Thanks for all the help.

Yes can put Y to pump or res or radiator
If it's aiming your drain point where
You want it
Saves an extra female to female
Fitting then
And happy to help
