SAF-AIR FLUSH MOUNT DRAIN VALVE SA53S
I needed to replace my wing sump due to it leaking after only three years. Aircraft Spruce had what I needed (direct replacement) at the best price. The part arrived when promised and installed in minutes. No leaks after a couple weeks.

Perfect fit works great
Worked great as a replacement on my Grumman AA5B
I had a slow leak on my Grumman-American AA-5B Tigers fuel drain, I bought this to replace the old drain. It fit perfectly and resolved the leak.
Perfect replacement for my Mooneys old seeping valve. One star deduction for the mis-information regarding the rebuildability (if thats a word) of these valves. Saf-Air has changed the design by now crimping the retaining washer into the valve body and it can no longer be rebuilt without significant alteration. This actually makes the valve more dependable, but also makes it disposable. Luckily its one of the cheaper replacement parts on the plane.
