Fixed the one thing that annoyed on my Rx Catch Can - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I really like my Rx catch can but I cannot stand the drain valve. I always found it difficult to reach under the can and open and close the valve; especially if it was a bit tight.

I decided to take a trip to the hardware store and see what I could find to fix this. I ended up with a Husky air compressor ball valve (sku# 252 140). Anything with a 1/4" NPT male thread will work. The simple easy to turn handle is a whole lot better than twisting the original threaded piece.

I used a bit of thread paste and 10 min later I was back in business. Check out the pictures below.

Very nice. That's the one thing I can't stand about mine.

GbrilliantQ · 07-22-2013, 01:22 PM

Nicely done. Looks great

VR Baron · 07-22-2013, 02:08 PM

Cool, yeah dont like the way it is now

Lil' Nasty · 07-22-2013, 02:08 PM

Thats a cool idea, might do this myself

This is a $10 option for any wanting it....much better. To retrofit, it is 1/4 NPT male thread.

Nice job!

Dznts · 07-22-2013, 04:01 PM

Nice job!

Had I known this was an option when I purchased I would have definitely paid the $10 to upgrade.

ssmike · 07-23-2013, 02:21 PM

Good option!

TRC-SS · 07-23-2013, 03:28 PM

Mines still on order with Apex....didnt see the option either. Would have done that.

Jannetty had the RX CC's in stock a while back.

That's a good idea, that gives me another idea that I want to try, if it works I will let you guys know.

menendez1293 · 07-23-2013, 05:44 PM

Great idea. Much better than the drain valve and clear tube that comes on the can

SSGUNNER · 07-23-2013, 05:47 PM

Very nice. I like.
