Where to get Fumoto drain valve?

For those of you who have this item, where are you getting it? I have a Skid Row engine skid on the way and want to replace the oil plug.

I have the valve + skid combo and it works great.

I have one but I'm less than enthusiastic about how its smaller opening together with the small diameter drain hose has made the drain process agonizingly slow. I start it draining then remove & replace the oil filter. It's still not done draining probably 5-10 minutes after I have the new filter in place.

I agree it is slow, but it offsets the mess and time cleaning up the oil pooled on the engine skid.

Yeah, I got one too. As the others said it takes forever to quit draining...I just want to get the fluid change over and done with it.

When I change my oil, I open the valve and then rotate all my tires and change my filter... by that time, it's all drained. If you just want the fluid changed right away then it will take you some time as mentioned.
