If you use Koolance QD2 or QD3 fittings you don't need a drain. Just unplug the lines and remove the parts and drain them in the sink or the back yard. Give the size of the "AIO" you are building and the pump, you can probably get by with QD2 fittings (smaller size) without any worries about flow/volume. Buy directly from Koolance.com (they are in the Seattle area) rather than elsewhere. I never buy them from third-party distributors any more. Buy silver. The black look nice but the anodize finish allows them to stick open sometimes and it gets black flakes of crap in your waterblock. Trust me on this. I ended up replacing several hundred dollars worth of the black fittings to stop this problem.

 

Thank you! I ordered 2x of the QD2 male and female fittings. Already shipped, hope to get the build done by next week. Any recommendations on tubing? I might need to order something different than what they shipped because it looks a bit short.
