American Forge & Foundry 15 Gal Low-Profile Waste Oil Drain (8877)

Description

The American Forge & Foundry 15 Gal Low-Profile Waste Oil Drain (8877) offers a practical and efficient solution for collecting used automotive fluids, especially in environments lacking a service pit or vehicle lift. This robust steel drain is engineered to fit comfortably under low-clearance vehicles such as heavy-duty trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles, making fluid changes accessible and manageable for a wide range of users. Its thoughtful design prioritizes both operational efficiency and cleanliness, ensuring a smooth and spill-free process from collection to evacuation.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Low-Profile Design: Stands just 8 inches tall, making it ideal for draining oil from under vehicles with minimal ground clearance, eliminating the need for a pit or hoist.
• Generous 15-Gallon Capacity: The large baffled steel tank provides ample capacity for multiple oil changes, reducing the frequency of emptying and minimizing downtime. The baffling helps to stabilize fluids during movement, preventing sloshing and spills.
• Efficient Fluid Evacuation: Equipped with a convenient rotary hand pump and evacuation hose, allowing for fast and easy transfer of collected waste oil into a larger holding tank.
• Enhanced Draining Area and Debris Protection: A large metal screen covers the top of the drain, offering a wide area for fluid collection while effectively preventing debris, tools, or other foreign matter from falling into the tank.
• Easy Maneuverability: Features a long steel T-handle and 360-degree swivel casters for simple positioning under vehicles and effortless movement around the workspace.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Tank Capacity: 15 US Gallons
• Material: Steel
• Style: Low Profile
• Includes: Rotary Evacuation Pump, Evacuation Hose with metal spout, Large Metal Screen, T-Handle

HOW TO USE:

1. Position the Drain: Carefully slide the low-profile waste oil drain under the vehicle’s oil pan or fluid reservoir using the long T-handle and casters. Ensure it is centered and stable directly beneath the drain plug.
2. Drain the Fluid: Once positioned, carefully open the vehicle’s drain plug, allowing the waste fluid to flow onto the large metal screen and into the 15-gallon tank. Monitor the fluid flow until the draining is complete.
3. Secure the Plug: Reinstall and tighten the vehicle’s drain plug securely, then carefully slide the waste oil drain away from under the vehicle.
4. Evacuate the Fluid: Connect the evacuation hose to the rotary hand pump. Position the other end of the hose into your main waste oil holding tank. Operate the rotary hand pump by turning the handle to transfer the collected fluid efficiently from the drain into the larger tank.
5. Clean Up: Once the drain is empty, clean any spills and store the unit in a safe, designated area.
