Could some LC veteran help me out in ordering the new parts for building a drain valve?
 
I don't want order until I'm certain everything is compatable (fits together).
 
Relevant specs:
Pump: Swiftec MCP355
Tubing: Tygon R3603 3/8" ID 5/8" OD
 
 
Ball Valve with 2 3/8 ID 5/8 OD Compression Fittings: http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=918
 
 
2-3' Tubing, Clear UV-Reactive PVC, 1ft/30.5cm [ID: 10mm (3/8"); OD: 13mm (1/2")]
 
------------
I don't think that 4-way is compatable with the fittings/nozzles (compression, barbed). It states that it has "four G 1/4 BSP" threaded nozzle holes. With my LC system, I'd probably be looking for a 4-way with 5/8" threaded holes? Or I have to use some kind of adapters?
 
I'll keep looking for another 4-way, although I wish I could just order everything from the same site. It SAYS that 4-way can be used with any nozzle size, but not sure that's true.
 
Essentially what I want is similar (or exactly) to Justin's example below. The four way will (probably?) fit on the coolant pump's outlet (to CPU) hose. Straight through route will go to the CPU waterblock, "optional" route to the Ball Valve -> Drain Hose

It would seem that the easiest solution would be to simply purchase two pairs of QDC's, one inline with the motor output (to CPU) and the second attached to a drain hose.
 
Unfortunately the QDC's featured in the DS video were not used in the construction of my Frostbite system.
