Default Easy T-line drain/fill cap?

Hey guys, I've got a single loop CPU system set up in my computer already, but it's installed in such a way that I cant easily access the reservoir for filling/draining. I just bought 2 T lines to install for fill and drain (one top, one bottom of loop) and bought 2 caps for these lines. Turns out that 1/2 caps for 7/16 ID tubing is more of a permanent solution than something I can remove and replace on a whim.

Is the solution simply smaller caps with a tube clamp to prevent leaks or are there easier tricks/hardware someone can suggest? Also, one of the T-lines will be near the outlet of the pump as its the lowest point in my loop, is this a problem?

Danger Den Fillport, check it out. Dunno how watertight they are so you might want to put a valve on your drain line, but it's the most elegant solution IMO.

As long as they are screwed on right they are watertight ...

The DD fillports make a nice way of sealing your T lines.
