22 Gal Portable Poly Antifreeze Drain Overview

Antifreeze drains that only work at one height become a problem the moment a lifted truck or a low sedan rolls into the same bay. The John Dow Industries 22 Gal Portable Poly Antifreeze Drain solves that by adjusting from 40 inches to 69 inches, so you're not swapping equipment or improvising a funnel setup between jobs.

The 22-gallon poly tank is virtually indestructible under daily high-volume shop use, and the 16 inch deep-drawn steel funnel with its expanded metal screen keeps debris out of the fluid you're recovering. A built-in filter drain adds a second layer of separation, and the gravity drain valve empties the tank without any extra hardware. When you're ready to switch to pump evacuation, the optional conversion kit (No. 61431-2) adapts the unit without buying a new drain.

The built-in gravity drain valve empties the 22-gallon tank without needing a separate pump.
