I'd like to put in a drain valve or some type of assembly or fitting that would allow me to drain it without removing just the bolt type plug and having it all run out at once with no control. Also don't need to get the solvent bath that happens when you first remove the plug. Any idea of what to use or where to purchase it at? Thanks Bill [Reply]   [No Email]

You can get a hose barb shut off valve, and put that in the end of the hose, and then you would have absolute control of where it is pointing as it drains. [Reply]  [No Email]
