Installing a drain valve
On my trailer, the drain valve I think is just for the tank as there is only one valve and it is connected to the tank. As far as I know, beyond the pump stays pressurized regardless.
So, what I want to be able to do is install a drain on the pressurized side of the pump so that when I use it in the colder times of the year, if it is going to get below freezing, I can open that valve and save me a burst pipe.
I have white plastic pipes. How hard would it be to do what I want to do? How hard would it be to drill a hole in the floor to have it drain on the ground?
(locally due to the severe cold we get, plumbing antifreeze is recommended for winterizing.)
