Good reminder. I like to do the same and will have to buy a couple fittings to do it to this one.

I never drain all the air from the tank, but just the water. Actually a quarter turn ball valve (or taper valve like the Model A lower pipe uses) is much easier to use than the cheap drain valve most of these compressors come with, so I'll look for one of those also.
