Jubol's swing ball valve
Original Message   Jan 15, 2005 11:56 am
Hi Fred-
I would like to install the swing ball valve on my machine..Where would you get a Swing ball valve of the proper size?

Is it made of brass? Is it already set up for the wire safety or do you need to drill a hole in the handle? Is it possible to post a picture of your installation?

Thanks for the great idea,

Marc

Great idea!  

Could someone please post the thread size of the cap nut on the typical Ariens engine(s)

Its just a standard ball valve that you can get from most hardware stores. You'll probably need a 1" long nipple to go between the drain hole in engine and the valve.  There are several configurations available. I got one set up that uses a braided stainless steel hose on it and an end cap. The hose is normally used to connect water pipes to fixtures such as toilets and fawcets. There's all sorts of stuff in the plumbing section. If I remember correctly the hole is 3/8" NPT ( National Pipe Thread)

   Newt,

         Next time you change your oil, take oil drain cap to Lowes or HD and match it to a pipe size.

Then buy the valve to match ! Drill a small hole in handle.

 Install, saftey wire in closed position, refill with oil.
