The first time I saw this fill/drain setup was is 2002. Several pictures of a really sweet water cooled setup were posted on a German web site. I still have most of the pictures but unfortunately do not know if the are copyrighted or who they may be copyrighted to. I have also considered using this set up with 3/8" NPT brass ball valves, and tees, along with some 3/8" quick disconnects to 1/2" barbs for the inlet and outlet connections. All connections would be threaded using teflon tape to seal. The ball valves are available at your local Lowe's, and the rest of the parts are available at McMasters on the web. Total cost is about $60 with the quick disconnect connections making up about 45% of the cost.
