absolutely Zero mess drain valve...

So I was going through my surplus of Hydraulic fittings and came across this gem...

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/rs_drifter3/DSC01080.jpg[/IMG]
wondering what i could use it for it dawned on me that it could be used for a quick release type drain valve.

and since I had to change my oil anyways I thought i'd try and see if it could work.
And would'nt you know, the threads matched perfectly. I will never have to remove and replace a crush washer again!

Hell yes.
Have any idea what part # that is, or where to get an equivelant?
I was thinking Tompkins... but... I don't know of their locations near me.

Quick, yet odd, question.
How did you get the old plug off, then this new plug on in enough time to hook up the hose and still have a good stream of oil coming out? Or did you just pour the old oil back in to show us it coming out?
If it were me I would drain all the old oil, then test out the new do-hickey. But that would not allow for action shots like yours.

very observant!... actually this was installed last month. I waited to see if the part would leak and what not ( which it did'nt), kinda quasi R&D... that allowed the cool action shot. and after the oil was drained I removed the part to show how everything went together...

At least, what is that piece called? I don't recognize it, but then again I don't mess with hydraulic fittings too terribly often.

you could do that........
or just get the Fumoto Valve.......
and if you are worried that it will open while driving, get the safety clip.
but that little guy is cool anyway.

here's the part # although I'm not quite sure of it's availability.
AE 81972H A2Q99.
It's a quick release coupler that is attached to a reducer fitting. I came across this part when we clearing our excess parts bin for our aircraft... and now it's an oil drain valve... it's rated at 3,000 PSI so i guess it won't leak. hahaha...

Is there an actual valve part of it? How do you "control" when it starts/stop flowing?

it works in the same principle as a quick release steering column would work... just slide the collar up to insert the coupling with hose attached to it, when the oil is drained simply pull collar forward and pull coupling off. the internal portion of both halves are spring loaded so the valve gets pushed back into the locked position. hope that helps a bit.

Does that part number include both pieces? And where can it be purchased from? Summit Racing?
| Javier | 01-30-2006 02:50 PM |
I think that's even better than a fumoto valve! I'd love to figure out where to get that!

actually i checked and there are two part #'s the second piece is AE96656E A3Q00.... hmmm, i dunno about Summit having them, but if you check with anyone who specializes in Aerospace hydraulic systems you may find something similar...

The Fumitomo valve is coo tool and more readily accessable but I like the contraption i've got. I'm pretty sure I'm the only Subaru owner with one plus the opening on the one i've got is a little wider. I really wish I knew where to find more because I guarantee that whoever owns one will absolutely love it and wonder how they ever got along with out it.

I'd stay away from the Fram. I had one on my civic and the mechanism would get stuck. Plus it's brass. Brass and aluminum don't like each other very much...

Seeing it's an aircraft part, does it give you any extra horses, say like the old Moon Eyes stickers did? They were good for around 10 hp. depending on your engine size.

any other information on safety clips? i've asked several people with no responce...
i just dont know how to do it :(

I used the Fram quickdrain on my previous car. It worked fine. Corrosion might have been an issue had I lived in an area where they salted the roads but in Texas, that's not much of an issue. The only problem I saw with the Fram and other quickdrain products is they leave a little bit of oil in the pan since the outlet of the quickdrain is higher than the bottom of the drain plug hole. If you jacked the car up substrantially to the opposite side of the oil drain then that effect should be diminished.
