Once a Femco Drain Plug is fitted, the oil is under control. By using

the drain hose, the oil is routed directly into the collection vessel. The drain hoses are available in various lengths according to need. Where the engine is installed low
down in a chassis, a short hose is usually adequate.
In construction equipment the engine is usually surrounded by ancillary units and pipe work. As long as the drain plug is reachable by hand, the oil can be drained
without coming into contact with these obstructions.

Side mounted, right-angled drain hose |
Side mounted drain plugs are particularly useful as often the oil will hit suspension parts, exhaust pipes or drive shafts when using normal drain plugs. The side
mounted Femco drain plug may be operated using a right angled drain hose to guide the oil in a vertical direction. The right angled drainer is also useful to drain oil from a bottom mounted plug where there isn’t space below the engine
as in a generator set.
The Femco drain hose controls the oil flow rate. The more the drainer is screwed on the drain plug, the greater the flow rate. Unscrew the
drainer and the slow rate decreases and then stops. This is a useful advantage when there is more fluid to be drained than the container can hold.
