Overview

SAF-AIR Products, Inc. has taken its very dependable fuel drain valve and added a new feature – it locks in the open position! This valve makes the operation of the pre-flight check for contamination and water in the fuel system very easy. This valve is so unique that SAF-AIR Products, Inc. received a United States patent on its design. Models 1250 & 1250H are popular choices to install on gascolators. FAA & TSO-C76 APPROVED.

Install but not yet tested. I like that it locks open and has an integral barb fitting. However it’s important to have a separate shut off valve in line with this valve to prevent theft of your fuel.

This company is awesome. Contacted them about a part needed for one of their valves and they sent part out free of charge. Excellent service and they even go the extra mile. I recommend their products to everyone.!

Need to increase the size of the hex body so you can use a socket to install rather than need to flush mount the valve with an open end wrench.

Q&A

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: Is there a replacement O-ring for the 1250H?

No, the manufacturer recommends purchasing another valve when the seal needs to be replaced.

Q: Thank you for the information, we have added the replacement chart to our website.

Q: Can a socket wrench be used to install these Saf Air drain valves? It’s not clear from the photos if the locking collar is narrower than the hex nut for a socket to pass the collar.

No, for example on the 1250 valve, the nut would be too wide so that once you put a socket over it, it would not engage. You will need to use a wrench for the install.
