ABSTRACT:
A fluid drain assembly having a valve member including a valve. The fluid drain assembly includes a conduit adapter member removably engageable with the valve member and in fluid communication therewith. A valve actuating member is disposed within the conduit adapter member. When the conduit adapter member is engaged with the valve member, the valve actuating member opens the valve, thereby creating a fluid path from the sump. When the conduit adapter member is disengaged from the valve member, the valve closes and substantially prevents fluid from flowing out of the sump.
