How to Loosen or Remove the Drain Plug from a Stock Tank

Removing Drain Plugs from Stock Tanks

Tools Needed:

  • Two Wrenches (Channel Lock or Crescent)

Steps:

  1. Hold the Inside Nut: Use one wrench to hold the big hexagon nut on the inside of the drain body.
  2. Loosen the Outside Nut: Use the second wrench to turn the big hexagon nut on the outside of the tank clockwise (to the right) until it is fully unthreaded.
  3. Remove the Drain Body: Once the outside nut is unthreaded, remove the remaining part of the drain body from inside the tank.
