Question on compressor and blowing out lines

[polarlyse]

That's the same thing I had tried. Won't work as stated above. Incoming gas plumbing is different. Our older trailer ( 1985) had one so I guess things have changed as they've gotten newer. OH well, the one I got works. Just a little slow to drain.

Not as quick draining as removing the plastic plug, but better than trying to fit a wench in there.

Bob and I have the same style. You just have to watch the metal parts around to make sure you don't tear up some skin.

If the Atwood people would think more about the consequences of what they do, we'd all have an easier time. I suppose they save a few bucks on the plastic drain plug, but they create a lot of bad PR.

I guess its just of matter of choice. I don't remember the size, but I believe its 15/16". I have plenty of open end wrenches long enough to keep my hand out of danger.

I also have enough patience to take the turns on the wrench to get the plug out.

For me it's not the patience to get the plug out. I too am in no rush. I found the plastic plug easy to round off on the points and then the wrench slips. That may make it difficult to remove. I thought about putting in a brass plug but I want to be careful not to cross the threads. That would make a very bad day. So I put in the brass drain plug so I don't have to remove it. At least for awhile that is, until it begins to leak.
