Setting up a Drain system on loop

[jack_l2]

Hi,

I am trying to find a vid tutorial on installing a drain setup with the watercloop through a T connector and a quick-disconnect system in order to drain the system when needed easily.. Any videos you can think of?

Not a tutorial, but you get an idea.

I used a T connector at the top of my loop to bridge off to a bleed port, and then hooked up an extra hose to the reservoir and have then out as a drain port, this way no need to fight with a quick disconnect inside the case.

The Rad in the front of my case has the ports at the top so it has a tendency to pool liquid up even after it's been drained, so be cautious of that.

-- Edit

For a clearer picture, Take a look at the picture of my build in another post, First LC build in over 10 years, if you look at the top left you'll see the t connector leading to a small cut off of the flex tube the bottom right the small piece of flex hose coming off the reservoir.

The bleed port tubing is cut just long enough to put out of the back of the case and lift higher than the radiator to ensure the liquid doesn't come out of that port.

My prefered way is without the T connector but with Quick disconnects in the bottom of the loop and an extra pair with tubing attached to open the quick disconnects.

Separate the ones in the loop, attach the spares and the loop is draining.

Thanks that helps a bit.

I vote for a dedicated tutorial for draining / filling a system with QDCs, etc

On the video, the QDC is connected directly to the T connector?!! I looked closely, how did you do that.. I was thinking I need a straight compression fitting between the QDC and the T connector:

T connector -> compression fitting -> small tube -> QDC

He used a QDC with a G1/4 thread.
