Compressor drain

Post by cjensen »

Many of you probably saw this in the most recent RV Builders Hotline Newsletter. I went to Menards yesterday for some other stuff, and ended up buying this stuff to make the draining of my compressor MUCH easier...

I think it cost about $12 to do this, and I no longer have to lay down on the floor to get to that pesky little knob valve that came on the tank.

Ah gee, that takes the fun out of getting your face down on the floor and getting coverd in dirt, not to mention getting oil and water all over your hand when opening the value. Good idea, think I'll add an extension to mine when it gets put in a more permanent place and mounted on shocks.
