Overview

LOCK OPEN OIL DRAIN VALVES
Changing hot engine oil has never been easier! With the SAF-AIR oil drain valve, no wrench is needed to remove the drain plug. A simple push and turn of the SAF-AIR valve locks it in the open position. The valve is made completely from anodized aluminum and stainless steel components. These materials are used throughout the aircraft industry due to their strength and durability. FAA & PMA APPROVED.

Product Notes:
  1. NEVER fly the aircraft with the drain hose attached to the oil drain valve.
  2. Make sure that your landing gear will not activate the oil drain valve when you retract the gear inside the fuselage.
  3. Remember, the valve may fit on your engine, but it is your responsibility to make sure that the valve will work with your application.

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.

Q: What size hose (ID) fits this?

3/8 ID.

Q: Does the Saf Air P5000 come with a sealing washer that would go between the quick drain and the oil sump?

It is not required on this unit since it is NPT thread.

Q: Are the P5000 valves FAA/PMA?

Yes, the valves are FAA PMA approved.

Q: Do you have spec sheet on dimensions for the P5000 valve?

We do not have a spec sheet available. The total length of the valve is 2.62 inches. These have a specific replacement application. Please ensure you order the correct valve for your engine.

Q: What size hose fits on the nipple of the P5000 valve?

3/8" id hose.

Q: What is the thread size of the P5000 valve?

It is 1/2 pipe.

Q: Is the valve secured by safety wire between changes? Or is it just safety wired in place after installing?

The valve is just safety wired in place, not between oil changes.

Q: What size socket fits the P5000? 1 seems too big and 15/16 is too small. Is it metric 25mm?

You would use a 1" wrench.

Q: O-ring replacement - above indicates 2 of one and 1 of another. To rebuild do I need 3 total?

Yes that is correct.
