This is the only quick-drain plug I’ve seen since 1977. It’s replacing a post-war variant that finally failed after 78 years. I imagine it will last at least that long. Well built, easy to install, easy to use.

This will not be installed until my next oil change. However, it seems to be beautifully engineered and solid. I would rather have paid a bit less, as it seems expensive to me, but I believe in the long run, it will be worth it.

5/8 -18 p/n 06-00637 is the correct drain for Cessna 150 equipped 0-200A engine.
I prefer this drain over others as the drain hose slips right on to the fitting, no need to keep a release decent in the glove box or tool box, all self contained, nice product, came with copper gasket.

Super easy to install. Crush washer included along with a small packet of anti seize.
Design has two rubber gaskets. They seem easy enough to replace when they wear out. Design has holes for safety wires. .032 is too thick so get the .025.

I installed i, but have yet to use it. I do know itll make the process much simpler and CLEANER. If you buy this and install it yourself, be ready for the oil to drain FAST as the stock oil plug has a large diameter. This thing will make life easier...connect a 5/8 hose, run the tube out the cowl flap opening, push up and twist, and drain.

As has been pointed out by others, the crush gasket is loose on the threaded shaft, due to the threads no contiuing to the gasket contact surface, thus the gasket has no means of being centered when installed, increasing the likelihood of leakage. Otherwise, quality seems fine.

Valve arrived in perfect shape and even comes with some thread lubricant/sealant.
But I was charged a 22 dollar fee for traceability documents which only amounted to an invoice and another shipping document from the manufacturer but not an 8130 form!
I assumed for $22 that I would get at least an 8130 form?

I haven’t installed it yet. When you order it, the website scrolls up other other products and says, “Customers who bought this item also bought these items….” Those included an ELT, a brake system and a propeller. What would have been nice would have been to suggest ordering a 1-1/16 crush gasket for it. So, after it arrived and didn’t come with a crush gasket, I ordered one. Another week! So, if you are going to buy one of these, I will tell you, “Customers who bought this item also bought a 1-1/16 crush washer for it.”

This drain valve has a double “O” ring seal against oil leaks, very nice. The one issue I have with it and the reason for four stars is the pin that holds the valve open to drain the oil is tiny leading me to think it won’t take much for it to fail. I could be wrong about this, it may be adequate for the job, just doesn’t seem Like it.

The P5000 just screws in to the bottom of my Lyc O-320 oil pan - no crush gasket is required.
Fortunately a small package of thread sealant is provided, hence about all one needs is a 1 box end wrench and some safety wire.
I replaced the previous 12 year old P5000 as it was starting to leak. It was probably just carbon or something fouling the O ring seals and I guess can be cleaned off however SAF-AIR suggests a ten year in service life, and does not sell new O rings.
As such, a new one is probably the best bet as opposed to attempted rebuilding.

Great product however the PMA list is incorrect.
The S6250 does not fit on the IO-470-C as the oil pick up screen is to close to the drain hole to operate the valve. I called the manufacture and they suggested the F62.
I gave the product 4 stars which would have been 5 if the PMA list was correct... Because I also have used the S6250 in many E185/E225 engine accessory case drains and it works perfect.
Thanks,

I ordered a F62 close tolerance drain valve via a voice order but apparently the order rep and I miscommunicated and I received an S6250 drain valve which I already have in my engine. So I reinstalled the valve I already had and returned the new one in its unopened package. Ill reorder again at next annual and be a little more specific to get the right one.

Although the application list calls out the proper engine application, it doesnt cover airframe applications. This part dose not fit the Cessna 310. The part protrudes below the cowling preventing the access cover to close.

Leaking oil past crush washer. Replaced crush washer, and still leaking. Looks like the washer slips because the neck is too small to keep it centered.

Bought one of these for my Mooney. Do not buy this product! It leaked from day one. Also, the aluminum welds itself to the cast iron under the heat, then you cannot get it out! The aluminum hex head rounds off easily. Then you have to have to get a pipe wrench with a cheater bar to get it out. Plus, Air Saf would never answer their phone or return my calls to help me with my problem. Do yourself a favor and buy the brass Curtis valve.
