Oil drain valve
The EZ Oil Drain Valve now is available to fi t Caterpil-
lar's C15 Acert engines that are equipped with an over-
sized drain plug. The valve is designed for routine oil
changes and oil sample analysis by replacing the drain
plug, allowing oil to be drained with a touch of a fi nger
by pushing the lever up and turning it. The lever then
can be returned to the locked and closed position, secur-
ing it from any accidental openings and preventing oil
spills and overfl ows. Optional hose ends can be installed
onto the valve to facilitate easier hose connections.

Silicone hose and elbows
Continental's 4-ply coolant silicone hose and
elbows are engineered to handle extreme tempera-
tures in newer heavy-duty engines. Silicone has a
400-degree continuous rating and a 450-degree
peak rating, making the hose elbows suitable for
applications that involve frequent mountainous ter-
rain and maximum-weight cargo that drive up the
engine's heat. The hose elbows complement the
company's radiator hose line and silicone charge
air cooler hose and heater hose.
