I liked the FRAM plug and tried it a while back. The problem was the HEX fitting doesn't leave room for a socket in the plug recess at the bottom of the case on a water boxer. I'm sure you could devise some tool to tighten it. Chris C 90mv

Yah I saw their point a did not bother with it Well I was surfing around yesterday and saw different take on these idea the femco drain plug http://www.drainplug.com/engels/html/e_voor%20wie.htm This design seems to not produce the extended valve but rather a slip on fitting with spring loaded valve, now I am curious if any body has tried this design and how far it extends from the recessed drain plug hole
