Need to replace air tank drains

[hex_nut]

My 1/4 inch ball valves that drain my air tanks are leaking (I have 4 of them).  Some time back in one of the discussions about air leaks, someone posted a picture and description of quality replacements for these ball valves.  I have searched the forum but have not been able to find the reference.  I think it was Scotty that posted the picture.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thanks

Do you have to go under to drain the tanks or are they positioned remotely or are you looking for some with the pull line. One day, when I also need to replace, I would consider the remote drain of some kind which I don't have right now, so I'll be watching for recommendations too.

Mine are plumbed remote.  They are like the bottom 2 in this picture I borrowed from Bart.

Good for you, Richard. These are the same 'Bendix drain valves' as on ours, except for the location. Don't know what they were smoking when they say to drain daily while installing them directly on the tank...

These are the type that are on a number of heavy duty trucks, then you have a remote cable to drain, fwiw.

Same as mine!

I'm surprised those would leak! Are you always turning them CCW?
