Drain placement

[WhiteSkyMage]

Ok guys, one simple question for you. I am extending my Swiftech H240X to cool my GPU with. The fill port is at the top (I made a pointer there).

 

1) Where do I place my drain, using a Ball Valve, in this water loop plan?

 

2) What fittings do I need for it? A slitter maybe?

You want it as low as possible really and somewhere that's easy to catch the water. You could try to put a T-junction below the left fitting on the GPU and run a tube to have the drain port at the back of the case, or you could have the drain port directly below the GPU, again using a T-junction. 

 

EDIT: I would also advise getting an end cap for the ball valve as well so there's no chance of it leaking.

I have included the end cap, so no worries

 

Do you think a Y junction would be better?

I would put it somewhere about where the bottom rubber grommet is. That way it's at the lowest point and also you don't risk dealing with the PSU getting in the way. Obviously as a T fitting and a ball valve
