    I just want to check now and see how this valve is holding up for you and ask for your review on it after some time using it.

      The valve fell apart and I replaced it with a solid brass one that has been working great for years now. Good question, thanks for the comment.

    thanks for the tip. I have an aluminum radiator on my Honda Civic. I had a problem with the plastic radiator drain plug and bought the copper one you show on this video. So just a quick question, mixing aluminum radiator with copper drain plug is not a problem, right? Thank you again for the video. It really helped a lot.

    Did you use a 9/16 wrench?
