Ez-flo 60092lf Water Heater Drain Valve

EZ FLO literally means nothing... the opening is just as big as my old one... I was looking for something that would help with routine cleaning and if you are this is not what you want.It is in fact a nice extension and longer than my old one though hence the 3 stars.one other note is the screw is loose on mine, I'm sure you can tighten it and I have in fact with my fingers though I am not sure if there is a purpose to this or if tightening it down could possibly damage something or make it malfunction sooner. Just buyer beware I guess its not a problem(to me) but something you won't see in the description

the original plastic drain started leaking after a flush. when replacing i found out why. it has a tiny hold in the petcock to let the water out. this brass one is a full flow 3/4 inch. installed and flushed. i cant believe the amount of crud it got out when we flushed. honestly every water heater with a plastic one should get replaced with one of these.,

The original plastic drain valve is not for long term use for a properly-maintained water heater. This is a real valve. Worked great on my AO Smith FPSE 236 50-gallon.

Replaced the old plastic drain valve with this one. So far so good. Fit was perfect. Wrapped the screw in part with some Teflon tape and the drip is gone.. For now anyways. Will update if that changes any time soon.

A brass fixture, far surpassing the original plastic drain valve, at a better price than the plastic. My first installation of a water heater drain valve, completed within an hour, including the time to drain the water heater.
