Spigot (Valve) for Water Heater Drain
Did I see someone have a mod where they added a spigot to the water heater drain instead of having to unscrew the plug? I would be interested in how this was done.

I don't have much room either that's why I was hoping to see how someone else did it. I remember seeing this mod but at the time I was looking at all kinds of mods and can't remember where I saw it.
Sure seemed easier than using a wrench to get the plug out.

I believe I read that same thread. If I remember correctly, they had a Suburban water heater and we (PT owners) have the Atwood. Maybe that's why it's harder to find one?

Aluminium tank only--------
If you tank is steel, you should use the plug with the "ZINK Anode" rod installed. Only aluminum tanks should have the "pet Cock" drain.

We plan on once a month weekend trips... would you recommend draining the water heater after each trip?
