Hey guys, I figured out that I want a drain on my loop. The place that makes the most sense to me is on the bottom of my second gpu (with a multi port wb). I would put a T fitting with a bitspower mini valve on one end and a compression fitting on the other. Would this cause any issues in my loop? Would the flow rate be affected much? Thanks in advance!

As long as there is no liquid leaving the loop, there won't be any issues. In you case, the valve will be closed and the flow will be unaffected.

Depending on the size/layout of your loops, so might you want to use more then 1 drain port.

My 3 rad system had a drain port at the reservoir, which worked fine, untill I found out that it emtyed less then half the loop. Turns out my tube routing made it impossible to drain the entire loop from the reservoir.
