drain tap

[frank rabbets]

I've made a nice drain tap for when I take the head off. It goes in the lower hose and enables you not to get covered in fluid and/or waste it.

Great idea and a very neat job/solution Frank

Good idea, shiny too

There is a drain cock in the side of the block already. Hard to find, but it's there.

Jon pointed out I have one on the bottom of the rad so I have 3 now. Only one is correctly designed so you can put a hose on and lead directly into a bucket. Very easy to get to as well.

It's a thick walled brass pipe so the tap is threaded, with a lock nut on the inside and the whole lot silver soldered with oxy. Belts braces and clips

Good looking piece of work there Frank
