Cooper40 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Posted October 31, 2023 We think we found the drain plug/petcock. Unscrewed it and there is just a very slow drip of water coming out. It was 30 degrees when I woke up. Stuck a small screw driver in there and it didn't do anything. Would that mean the water is partially frozen and not wanting to come out or there isn't much in there to begin with? Quote
DJK Posted October 31, 2023 Report Posted October 31, 2023 That and an accumulation of rust and sand, might want to remove the drain valve and flush with garden hose or better yet a pressure washer. Quote
Cooper40 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Report Posted October 31, 2023 @DJK That whole valve can be removed all the way? Or am I looking at the wrong thing? Quote

Notice how the sides of the valve body are flat and parallel which makes it possible to use a wrench to unscrew the entire valve out of the block. Well....possible if the threads aren't seized in the block and the valve doesn't break off in the block.... Quote
Cooper40 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Report Posted October 31, 2023 @Sam Buchanan Yes we were able to get it out. Thanks. Quote
