Low point drain valves

[bob213]

Just replaced my pex caps with these nice Zurn pex valves from Zoro Tools. No more tools to drain low point drains.

Thanks, I will check the US site. Unfortunately Acklands/Grainger pulled out of this area.

If you purchase them from Grainger USA they cost 7.23 CAD each. Economy Shipping is 19.19 CAD which comes out to 12.02 total each if you buy 4.
You might check your Grainger stores in BC also.

I love that idea, I'm going to order some and replace my current set up. DW thinks it's a great idea also.

It's funny, our fresh water tank has a ball value and yet the low point drains do not.

I was gonna add ball valves to my low point drains this summer, but I just didn’t have the balls.

I guess I got lucky, my TT came with ball valves from the factory.

I did this last year. So nice to not have to crawl under the camper and try to avoid the flood when draining.

Dumb question: What are pex caps?
I would like to replace those stupid T-handle pull-up valves on my low point drains w/ something easy to install that works a lot better, and doesn't leak all the time. Sheesh, what a design.

The black parts are pex caps, you have to remove them to drain the plumbing. A PITA since it's a two handed operation.



Check Sharkbite fittings for valves to replace your pull handle valves.

I just ordered a pair as well. Thanks for posting this.

Ordered them Friday, got them on Monday. Now that's good service.

I started with ball valves and did not have enough room for them. These were a little smaller and the whole valve did not have to turn to tighten.
