Fumoto F106SX oil drain valve 14mm-1.5 thread — forged-brass, 360° rotating lever control

The Fumoto F106SX is a compact, forged-brass oil drain valve with a 14mm-1.5 thread designed to replace drain plugs and let you quickly, cleanly drain oil without tools.

The SX-series combines a through-bolt mounting and a separate oil-flow control body so you can orient the valve for easy access and maximum clearance. Built with forged brass and stainless-steel components to Fumoto’s long-standing manufacturing standards, the F106SX adds an ergonomic lever, a short 5mm hose nipple for controlled draining, and a 360° rotating body for flexible positioning under cars, light trucks, vans, and selected commercial engines.

How does the F106SX make oil changes faster and less messy?

Instead of removing a threaded plug and letting oil spill while you fumble for a pan, the F106SX opens and closes with a simple lever to start or stop flow instantly. The short nipple accepts a small hose so you can direct oil neatly into a container.

• Quick lever operation for one-handed open/close control
• 5mm hose nipple for direct, splash-free draining
• Eliminates repeated plug removals, reducing cross-thread and leak risk

Will the valve fit my vehicle’s 14mm-1.5 drain port and avoid obstructions?

The F106SX uses a 14mm-1.5 thread size and a through-bolt design that lets you tighten the bolt independently of the valve body, simplifying installation even when space is limited. Its 360° rotation means you can orient the lever and outlet away from obstacles for a compact profile.

• 14mm-1.5 thread for many OEM drain ports
• Through-bolt allows body rotation without re-tightening the bolt
• 360° rotation helps clear heat shields, skid plates, and tight pans

What materials and construction should I expect for durability and corrosion resistance?

The F106SX pairs a forged brass body with stainless-steel internal parts to resist corrosion and withstand repeated service cycles. It’s produced in Fumoto’s ISO-9001-certified facility to consistent tolerances and quality control standards.

• Forged brass exterior resists rust and mechanical wear
• Stainless-steel hardware for internal strength and longevity
• Manufactured under ISO-9001 processes for consistent fit and finish

Do I need an adapter or special tools to install the SX-series valve?

Many vehicles with a 14mm-1.5 drain thread accept the F106SX without an adapter; however, some engine pans may still require an adapter depending on OEM plug shape. Installation generally uses the through-bolt and standard hand tools — no specialty tooling is needed for normal replacement.

• Often installs directly on compatible 14mm-1.5 ports
• Through-bolt enables simple tightening with common wrenches
• Adapter recommended only when OEM thread/pan geometry differs

Who is this for: The Fumoto F106SX is aimed at vehicle owners, DIYers, fleet managers, and professional techs who want a cleaner, faster oil drain solution for cars, light trucks, vans, and some commercial engines with a 14mm-1.5 drain thread. Choose the F106SX if you value convenient hose-directed draining, a low-profile install, and durable brass-and-stainless construction for repeated service intervals.
