I've not done this yet so I'm not 100% but at a guess..., I'd use an airtrap, join it to the loop with a T like you said, I'd use an oversize one cause they're restrictive, a 1/2inch one has an inner diametre of about 9.5~10mm, 1/2inch tube has 12mm inner.
use a bit of plexi tube about 1 inch diametre, you can probly get a large barb to screw into the bottom(garden shop near me does perfect threadless nylon fittings from 3/4~2inches with a 3/8~5/8 barb) , you'll have to cap the top with a rubber bung (homebrew shop?).

Or use the T with a lenght of tube with a stop/ball~valve on the end, when you want to fill it just add a tube going to a funnel onto the ballvalve, just run the PC while open to allow air to escape. if the lenght of tube between the T and valve is a few inches long it'll act like an airtrap anyway...
