ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a drain construction for a radiator (10) and is built generally as follows. A header (12) includes a drain area (16) which is used to drain fluid from the interior of the header when so desired. The drain area includes a first annular pipe (24) extending into the interior fluid handling portion (20) of the header as well as a larger diameter second annular pipe (30) extending outwardly from the header. The two annular pipes are plugged by a plug (40) which has a lower portion (42) and an upper portion (44). Passageways (56, 58) are provided through the plug in order to facilitate draining of the header. When the plug is rotated to its proper position with the passageways in alignment with a passageway (38) of a third annular pipe (36), fluid may be drained from the radiator. When these passageways are not aligned, fluid is contained within the header.
