Quick disconnect

[Whitenova]

I am wondering if I would want quick disconnect fittings for my custom loop. Here is the rest of the water cooling stuff I have so far CPU Block: http://shop.ekwb.com/ek-supremacy-evo-nickel GPU Block: http://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc970-gtx-acx-nickel  Res: http://shop.ekwb.com/ek-res-x3-250 Radiators: http://shop.ekwb.com/ek-coolstream-xe-360-triple Pump: http://shop.ekwb.com/ek-xtop-d5-pwm-plexi-incl-pump Tubing: http://www.amazon.com/PrimoChill-PrimoFlex-Advanced-Tubing-Crystal/dp/B00A0Q55MC Fittings: http://shop.ekwb.com/ek-acf-fitting-10-16mm-black-2

It would be easy to change out parts of the loop or drain it with another set of quick disconnects but you can integrate and drain system in the loop or build one into it.

That's something you have to answer. Are you ever going to want to disconnect a piece of tubing from something else?

I had them for a while but decided they weren't for me. I built in a nice drain port and fill port. So I can drain the whole loop fairly quickly any way.

Also I'm not the type to buy a new gpu or cpu/mobo every generation. So really I only need to change things if somthing breaks.

How did you build a drain and fill port?

How did you build a drain and fill port?

 

For most systems if it's a T into the loop using one of theses adapters and a valve, for the fill port all it needs is a fillport installed into the case itself by drilling a hole and attaching it to the fill point on the res.

Yup this.

I have a 250 mm res and the top has 3 ports. Just ran one to the very top of the case. Drilled a hole and installed a g1/4 fitting that bolted to the case. For drain port I have a y splitter off the pump running to a ball valve.
