So i ordered 2 more for my low point drains. They were an exact match. Its basically like a compression fitting. I uninstalled the old low point couplings and replaced with theses new valves. I also replaced the last nut with the old cap, so its double stopped?  |
Same valve was installed at the factory on our trailer. We didn't have a cap of any kind on it, just a short piece of tubing below the valve, so after draining for the winter, I put a piece of fiberglass screen around the assembly with with a wire tie, left it open just in case there was a little bit of water left in the drain. I'm wondering if there was/should have been a valve on all the trailers and either the factory didn't install it, it got broken off or removed for some reason and not reinstalled? Doesn't seem like there should be a drain without a way to easily open/close it.
