NOD-18 Oil Drain Features
18 Gallon Tank Capacity
The generous 18 gallon reservoir lets you perform multiple oil changes before needing to empty the tank. For shops handling several vehicles per day, this means less downtime and more productivity. The large capacity is especially useful when draining trucks, SUVs, and other vehicles with higher oil volumes.
Iron Manual Pump
Evacuate used oil from the tank without heavy lifting or awkward maneuvering. The built-in iron manual pump is durable and reliable, allowing you to transfer oil to storage containers or disposal drums with ease. This feature saves your back and speeds up the process of preparing the drain for the next job.
37 to 76 Inch Adjustable Height
Whether you're working under a low-rise lift or a full-height four-post, the NOD-18 adjusts to meet your needs. The height range of 37 to 76 inches accommodates virtually any shop configuration. Simply position the drain, adjust to the optimal height, and catch oil cleanly every time.
17 Inch Diameter Funnel
The extra-wide 17 inch funnel provides a large catching area to minimize spills and splashes. Position it beneath the drain plug with confidence, knowing that even fast-flowing oil will be captured cleanly. The wide opening also makes it easier to catch oil from offset drain plugs or when working at awkward angles.
Swivel Caster Wheels
Mobility is essential in a busy shop. The NOD-18 rolls smoothly on swivel caster wheels, letting you position it precisely where needed and move it out of the way when the job is done. The casters handle concrete floors with ease and lock in place for stability during use.
Built-In Tool Pan
Keep your drain plugs, wrenches, and filter tools within arm's reach. The tool pan surrounding the collection tube provides convenient storage for the items you need during every oil change. No more searching for dropped tools or walking back to your toolbox mid-job.
Dual Drain Holes
Both top and bottom drain holes give you flexibility in how you empty the tank. Use the bottom drain for gravity-fed transfer into low containers, or utilize the top opening with the manual pump for transferring to elevated storage. Having options makes waste oil management simpler and more efficient.
