How da heck do I drain this loop?

I got a little problem with draining my liquid cooled pc. I've more or less recreated the gaming pc side from this Linus video:聽

Now since this build uses the聽EKWBEK-Quantum Reflection Uni 140 D5 PWM D-RGB Pump (shown below), my drainage point would be at the bottom of said pump with no space for a basin or something to catch all the liquid. I'm not very knowledgeable with things like these so I would really appreciate if anyone had any ideas on how to solve this. 馃檪

Drain point doesnt have to be on the pump, you could use something else like a GPU port or add a 3 way fitting where you can place a drain valve.聽

Adding to that: If you want it to be even easier, attach a piece of flexible tubing to the valve that is long enough to allow you more control over the exiting liquid. It is better if it's permanently arches so you don't damage your loop putting it on and taking it off.聽

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 馃槈 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
