The 8G-DRAIN has no pump, no hose, no fittings and no seals to perish: you catch the oil, you wheel it to your waste drum, and you empty it through the pour spout. The mechanism is gravity. Nothing about it wears out, nothing about it needs priming, and there is nothing on it that will choose a Friday afternoon to stop working.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor a garage that changes oil a few times a week and keeps its waste container within pushing distance, that is not a compromise - it is the correct specification. You are buying a \u003cstrong\u003e17″\u003c\/strong\u003e catchment funnel, a screen, a see-through tank and four castors, and you are not paying for a pump you would use once a fortnight.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWho should buy a different drain\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBetter to know this before you order than after. If your waste tank is across the building, if you run several oil changes a day, or if the person doing the emptying should not be tipping a full container, buy a pump-equipped model instead - larger units in this same family evacuate through a hose and a hand pump, and the extra outlay buys back a great deal of lifting. The pour-out design earns its keep where the trip to the drum is short and infrequent.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe 48″ to 63″ column\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eHeight adjusts between \u003cstrong\u003e48″ and 63″\u003c\/strong\u003e. Read those two numbers as the working envelope rather than as a feature: at the low end the unit rolls beneath a vehicle on axle stands or a low-rise scissor lift, and towards the top it reaches sumps on a vehicle raised to a comfortable standing height. Take a tape to the drain plug of whatever you service most, at the height you actually work at, and confirm the figure sits inside that band. No one at this end can take that measurement for you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNote the ceiling of the range honestly: this is a compact column. A drain that has to reach the sump of a full-size truck at the top of a two-post lift wants more height than this model offers, and that is a reason to look at a taller unit rather than a reason to hope.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eA 17″ funnel, and the screen that saves your afternoon\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe funnel measures \u003cstrong\u003e17″\u003c\/strong\u003e across the mouth. Oil does not leave a sump in a neat vertical column - the first rush comes out sideways, and drain plugs are rarely where you positioned the trolley. A wide catchment turns a near-miss into a clean catch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBelow the funnel sits a built-in contamination screen. Its job is to catch the drain plug you drop, the crush washer that follows it and the sludge that comes with a neglected engine, keeping all of it out of the reservoir. Since this unit empties by pouring, that screen also means what leaves the spout is oil rather than oil plus hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eReading the level, and moving the trolley\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reservoir is translucent polyethylene. You read the level by looking at it - there is no gauge, no float and nothing to jam or mislead. Polyethylene also shrugs off what years of hot, acidic used oil do to a steel tank from the inside. There is a pour spout with a cap for emptying and closing off, and hand grips moulded into the reservoir body for the lift at the drum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt rolls on four \u003cstrong\u003e3.5″\u003c\/strong\u003e swivel casters. Four swivelling wheels rather than two lets you crab the funnel sideways under a plug in small corrections rather than steering the whole trolley around in an arc, which is what you spend your time doing under a car.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOne- and two-bay independents\u003c\/strong\u003e where the waste drum is in the same room and the drain gets emptied a couple of times a week.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHome and enthusiast garages\u003c\/strong\u003e with a low-rise lift or axle stands, where a simple catch-and-pour unit is all the job asks for.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMotorcycle, powersports and small-engine shops\u003c\/strong\u003e, where volumes per service are small and floor space is short.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA second drain\u003c\/strong\u003e for a bay that already has a pump-out unit, so one machine is not tying up two technicians.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's feature list gives the funnel with its built-in contamination screen, the translucent polyethylene reservoir, the pour spout and cap, integrated reservoir hand grips and four swivel casters.

Used oil is a regulated waste stream in most places, and some workplace insurers and local authorities set requirements for the equipment that handles it and for secondary containment. Check what applies to your site before ordering; if you need a specific point confirmed by the manufacturer in writing, ask us and we will get it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShipping is within the lower 48, quoted live against your address at checkout rather than estimated beforehand. If the unit travels as palletised freight, unloading is the receiver's responsibility - either equipment on site or collection from the carrier's terminal, which for a house is usually the simpler route because a terminal has a dock. Residential delivery carries a residential fee, applied at checkout when you select it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLook before you sign. The funnel rim, the column and the caster mounts are what take knocks in transit. Anything you find goes on the bill of lading in front of the driver, with a photograph; a clean signature is what a carrier will hold up if you claim afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhatever warranty terms the manufacturer has in force when you order are the terms that govern, and we will send you that wording before you buy if you want to read it first.

Equipment that has been dismantled for a look is generally treated as modified, and that is how covered faults become uncovered ones. Photograph it, keep the packaging when the damage might be transit-related, and speak to us before anyone reaches for a spanner.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-details-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-details-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-details-item\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e8 GALLON fluid capacity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e17” DIAMETER plastic FUNNEL\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in funnel contamination screen\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e48” to 63” adjustable height\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTRANSLUCENT polyethylene RESERVOIR\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReservoir pour spout \u0026amp; cap\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eManual ‘pour’ evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrated reservoir hand grips\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePortable with four 3.5” swivel casters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSafe and easy to use\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-spec-container\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-spec-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-spec-item\"\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003ePick Up and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-pickupdelivry-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-pickupdelivry-item\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur Pick Up locations for Valor, Tuxedo, iDeal are located in Temecula, California - Orlando, Florida - Norcross, Georgia - Elwood, Indiana - St. Cloud, Minnesota - Reidsville, NC - Pottsville, Pennsylvania - Alvarado, Texas - West Valley City, Utah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCall, text, or chat with us if you have questions. 866-774-7743\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\" class=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-downloads-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-downloads-item\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-img-container kd-flex-row\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tuxedo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49287151747226,"sku":"8G-DRAIN","price":88.2,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/coretarps.co.uk\/products\/mtd-8g-drain-8-gallon-oil-drain","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
