air tank drain valve

[RaceDiagnostics]

The water drain valve on my air tank is blocked, is there anywhere that sells replacements? The one I have looks like 1/2 inch.

Replace it with a hose tail then fit a short length of airline then a lever operated ball valve, this will allow the tank to be drained without having to grovel on the floor to get at it.

There are similar cheaper ones, just be patient for it to come------ but it will. Just got stuff today from Hong Kong, ordered 21st September.

It was nothing special- through Amazon,240V AC to 12V DC power supply, a brilliant bit of service, It came in an Air Mail envelope, my previous order Via E bay came via Switzerland and took about 6 weeks.

i just got a compressor myself
opened the valve............it blocked.............took the valve out 1/2 bsp...............it blocked.............
i then took the 2" plug out of the end and then using a wet/dry vac and a bit of old hose pipe cleaned out all the crud from the tank
