Could use a hand guys xD

[hmmmm]

So I need to change the liquid inside my PC, I have the XSPC Raystorm Pro D5 Bayres RX240 but I realise now I don't have a valve. When I change it I would like to replace the tubing and get a valve on there somewhere. Although I don't remember what the tube size is and what valve size I will need to get. If you guys could help me out it would be much appreciated :).

Measure the current tube's outer and inner diameter.

(Taking this from the product page) If you're just going to replace the tubing, looks like you'll need to find some 7/16" ID (inner diameter) tubing.

[hmmmm]

Thanks I did look at that but it was my first build and all the numbers confused me a little :). Am I going to need a G1/4" valve?

They can't see that you responded if you don't quote them. Use the arrow in their comment box.

7/16 is a bit of a weird size, I'm more used to either 1/4 or 3/8 stuff. Yeah you'll want fittings and a valve with G1/4" thread, and ,for exampe, a Y splitter. Find G1/4 to 7/16 fittings.

Valves are usually double female thread, so you'll need a male to male adapter to screw it in directly or more fittings to connect it with tubing. One part of the Y splitter will act as a normal part of the loop and the other arm will have the drain valve attached.

Thank you for your help

To attach the valve to a splitter it is better to use a rotary male-male fitting, you also need a g1/4 plug to close the valve.
