In Win 909 Water loop layout?

[squigy7]

I have attached my water loop layout. Can someone tell me if this looks ok? My only other question is where would be the best spot to include my bitspower drain port valve? I do have a 180 and 360 t-fittings to accommodate the drain valvle.

Can you use that with hardline tubing? I plan to use PETG tubing only.

Drain Valve

Drain Valve

This will work as well. I would say, that if it were my build, connect hard tube to res, but fine one with 3 holes.

one for hardline in, one for hardline out, and one with soft tubing for draining.

and just put a valve or something at the end of the soft tubing to maek sure liquid doesnt come out, unless you want it to.

 

Quick disconnects will work with hardline, but they have to be strategically placed, to be able to do that.

Ill draw up some pics if you dont understand

If you're going to use a mini-valve like the Bitspower one shown, make sure you find one that has a metal handle. The plastic handle on the Bitspower one has a tendency to break. 

 

Your drain valve should be attached at the lowest point. You can see how I have mine set up in the pic below. 

 

Your best bet might be to run a horizontal line from the GPU out, through the panel and into a splitter (or a flow indicator like mine). You can then run a line up to the inlet at the top of the radiator from there. The drain valve can be attached to the splitter as well. That looks like it'll work as the lowest point in your loop.

The lowest point in my loop will be near the GPU, but my res does have two outlets at the top of the case, so can I use the other outlet as my drain port if I just tilt the case on it's side?

it would be easyier (but probably less clean looking in your case) if you installed the drain port at the lowest point and use the aditional caps on your radiator to ventilate the system. You wouldprobably get tired of tipping the case over every time.

Option 2 loop with drain valve

i really like that option.

 

Mine looks like this. And jeah i know the pump is not sitting flat on the surface of the case....i am working on it
