Thrush 416-2 Tank Drainer 1/2 Inch Left Tube End

Product Description

The THRUSH 416-2 is a 1/2-inch tank drainer designed for draining and servicing water storage tanks and expansion tanks in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating systems. The unit features a left tube end configuration, which routes the drain discharge away from the tank and toward a floor drain or collection point. Plumbers and hydronic system technicians install this fitting during routine maintenance, system flushes, or tank replacements. The 1/2-inch connection size is standard for most residential tank applications.

This tank drainer is suited for use in hydronic heating systems, potable water systems, and anywhere a bladder-style or diaphragm expansion tank or storage tank requires periodic draining. The left tube end design is particularly useful in tight mechanical rooms where clearance or drain orientation dictates the discharge direction. Installation is straightforward and is typically performed as part of scheduled system maintenance or during a tank changeout.
