Silly Racor Drain Valve question

[wonkodsane]

Hi all, hope the spring is finding you well.

What's the OD size of the drain valve's outlet nipple on the Racor spin-on diesel filter debris/water bowls? I think I have a 220R or something very much like it.

Mine is mounted in a fairly confined space and a little bit of hose would make my life much easier. Unfortunately I forgot to measure it last weekend.

Also, what're those extra plugs on top of the filter assembly for? I know what the vent "thumbwheel" screw is for, but not the other two.

I just found the install manual for it by doing a Racor 220 manual google search ...

Don, I found the same manual (and many other Racor technical docs) online, but I was either missing where it called out the drain valve nipple size, or it wasn't there. Did you see something I didn't?

Welp, if anyone else cares, a 9/32" ID hose fit snugly but not too tight to easily slide on and off.
