My new drain setup

[Neomuffins]

I just got done piecing together the drain for my loop, and thought I'd share. coolant from GPU enters right side, and goes out left side up to reservoir. Opening both ball valves will allow me to drain the res, as well as both sides of the radiator.

 

I don't have any questions or anything, I'm just happy to have solved this puzzle and thought I'd show it off a little. Tell me what you think!

 

Fittings used:

2x 6mm rotary offset (Barrow)

2x m/m rotary (bitspower? came off old build)

1x Gold 3-way connector (Barrow)

1x Gold 5-way connector (Barrow)

3x gold m/m extender (barrow)

2x EK Ball Valve

2x Monsoon Free Center Hardline 1/2" OD

1x Monsoon Temp Probe

1x Monsoon 90* rotary

1x random red plug. Monsoon probably.

first off, ditch the monsoon free centers, after 4 fittings failing where the collar came off the tubes causing leaks and the company owner not getting back to me, im done with them, they're supposred to be mission critical and in my experience are not fit for purpose.

 

As for you solution, i like it, used a valve as an etension as seen top left of this image.

On on of mine, I just put a drain on each side of the main rad with the extra ports. But this is something I’d defienely prefer given the limitations of most rads I use.
