Parts Cleaning Tank Drain Valve

The 20 gallon parts cleaning tank is commonly found in home garages and small workshops. Many auto parts and tool retailers sell them under various brand names. One of the most common is a Harbor Freight version. The one I've used for this video I purchased from Jegs, but to look at mine and the Harbor Freight unit, the only difference I can see is the color.

If you're looking at this video, you probably have one of these cleaning tanks and you may already realize that draining the tank could be a little difficult with the simple drain bolt that comes with the unit. This video will show you how to easily and inexpensively change that drain bolt to a quarter turn valve that you can find on eBay, Amazon and many other sources. I made this simple modification and I think it's great improvement over the original drain bolt. I hope this works for you.
