Abstract:
1. A fluid drain assembly for attachment to a fluid sump having a wall, the drain assembly comprising: a valve member being configured to provide fluid communication with the sump, the valve member having a normally closed valve therein, and further having two opposed end regions, one end region adjacent the sump and an other end region distal from the sump; a seal member disposed on the other end region; and a conduit adapter member removably engageable with the valve member and adapted to be in fluid communication therewith, the conduit adapter member comprising: wherein when the conduit adapter member is engaged with the valve member, the conduit adapter member seals against the seal member, and the pin opens the valve, thereby creating a fluid path from the sump through the valve member and out the conduit adapter member; and wherein when the conduit adapter member is disengaged from the valve member, the valve closes and substantially prevents fluid from flowing out of the sump.
