I hope it is okay to post this here, else just delete it.

I am going with the o11d XL and this distro plate https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-classic-dp-side-pc-o11d-g1-d-rgb-ddc-3-2-pwm

My question is: Can I make one or both of these fit the drain port on the back? If yes, then what would I need to make it fit? I want to connect a soft tube to the drain port of the distro, and the other end of the soft tube to the ball valve. So it is like this: Distro plate<--->Soft Tube <---> Ball valve <---> soft tube. What do I need to make that setup?

You need a double nipple to mount it. Someting like that: https://www.alphacool.com/shop/ansc...nippel-g1/4-ag-auf-g1/4-ag-deep-black?c=20674

Or two normal fittings with a short tube. So one fitting on the distro plate and one on the ball valve.

So if I go with the ddouble nipple, then I screw one end of the double nipple (That is a weird name), into the distro plate. but I want a soft tube between the other end of the double nipple and the ball valve. What do I need for that?

Ah... for that you need only two normal tube fittings. Wich one, depends on the tube size you like to use. Mount one fitting in the distroplate, put a tube on it, mount the other fitting on the ball valve and connect the tube on it. Thats all.

Which tube and fitting would you recommend? Just need the cheapest :)
I would also like to connect another piece of soft tube to the other end of the ball valve. So that would be three fittings? distro plate<->fitting<->soft tube<->fitting<->ball valve<->fitting<->soft tube, is that correct?

That is correct. To be honest, choose the fittings and tubes you like. For this case, you cant buy the wrong parts. If it would be my personally choice, i would always go with TPV tube and TPV fittings 12,7/6,7mm. But they are not the cheapest. I only like them very much. Biggest issue is, that we have nothing on stock right now XD.
