So, even with Sears having a 10% off sale I decided to hold off on the compressor. However, I WILL be getting one in the NEAR future.

Anyhow, as I was reading the instruction manual I noticed that they have new electronic drains that automatically drain the tank once a day. How cool is that!!! How many of you guys actually drain your tank once a day?

I also noticed that the drain valve is located in a very awkward place under the compressor and would be a PAIN to reach to drain every day. I then got to thinking and figure it couldn't be too hard to attach some piping, an elbow, and a ball valve to the tank drain to move the handle to a more accesible, and easier to open, location.

Has anyone tried this before? I'm thinking of giving it a shot on my current sears compressor and see how it works out. Maybe I'll drain the tank more often!
