Hi
I have A Barret Precision Engine that doesn't (or didn't) have an oil quick drain. It used an AN10 Tee with a cap due to how oil system was setup.
For the past couple of years I have been talking with SAF-Air at KOSH hoping they would design an adapter for use with one of their quick drain values.
A few days I received what I think is one of their first adapters. It connects the AN10 male end of the TEE to a straight thread male drain with enough internal clearance top all the drain to operate.
What I didn't expect, but really like is that the drain hose connection portion" can be removed and replaced with a knurled cap with an O-Ring. That way if the drain valve leaks / weeps the cap catches / stops it from being a problem. There are pre-drilled holes for safety wire so the everything is and remains secure.
Operating the drain is simplicity itself. Simply remove the cap and screw on the hose connection. As the connection is tightened, it opens the drain vale and oil comes out.
Attached are a couple of pix sowing the install. The first has the cap on. The second shows the cap removed and the hose connection installed. No oil is coming out (yet) as it is hasn 't been tightened.
It is not on their website yet so if you are interest you will call to call.
Cheers
Les
