It’s a challenge to get to the air drain on my air compressor so I made it easier. An auto drain would be nice but they’re a little spendy:)

thats a great Idea
One of the main causes for compressor tanks going bad is the drains are so inaccessible most folks don't drain theirs regularly
well done sir!
I have never understood why the manufactures do not apply a coating on the interior of pressure tanks to prevent rusting.
You are right Frank
I did the same thing years ago, using 3/8" copper tubing and a 1/4" ball valve. The ball valve is much handier to operate than the original type.
