Ridiculously Nooby Question About Watercooling

I'm going to buy my first watercooling loop here shortly. Having never done this before I don't know what all is included when you buy things...

I was wondering if reservoirs include the necessary plugs to stop the port you're not using as well as the fill port. Specifically the EK-XRES 140 D5 reservoir pump combo. Should I buy the screw in plugs seperately, or will it come with one for the fill port and one for the unused outlet?

Thanks 😀
 
if your buying an all in 1 kit (all the parts you need to get you running) then everything should be there. all the fittings, the hoses, coolant, rads, cpu/gpu blocks, pumps and reservoir.

if your buying seperates then you will have to be carful and make sure you buy enough of everything... fittings in particular...
as for the rez specifically. it will come with enough plugs to block all the inlet and outlets. so you should have at least 2 spare at the end of the build.
