On my high-tech well advertised and incredibly overpriced twentyfirst century electric water heater there is a drain valve at the bottom as there should be. But it is alien to me. I have never seen the likes of this amazing brass what-ever-you-call-it-thingie before. Is is merely a screwdriver operated faucet? And if so why? Why would such a thing even exist? What is going on? Will Rod Serling step from behind the curtain? Here are some pictures I took while standing on my head and feeling a bit sick to my stomach. Sorry about the poor quality as I could not see what I was doing at all. It was point and hope time. It is past time to drain my water heater and I wonder if there may be a nasty gotcha associated with this bizarre brass manifestation of some form of engineering I am not familiar with. Klingon perhaps? Too brutal looking to be Romulan. Rick Draganowski (Doubtful in Oregon)
