Femco FAQ's
How do the Femco drain plugs work?
Femco's patented draining design has a stainless steel, spring-loaded valve inside the drain plug. This valve remains closed until Femco's patented drainer is attached to the drain plug. Once the drainer seals itself, the valve opens and the oil begins to drain through the hose.
Do I need a drainer for every vehicle?
No. The drainers are designed to fit all of the plugs within a series (i.e. one of 1002 – Drainer Large Straight fits all large bottom plugs in the Standard series).
What series is correct for me?
The series depends on the application, and style of draining. Standard plugs are common where clearance is not an issue. Compact plugs are used where clearance is a concern. Speed Click plugs are very popular with all sizes of fleets.
Does any oil get left in the pan?
No. Femco plugs are designed to sit flush with the pan. Therefore, all of the oil is drained quickly and easily.
Can I drain the oil hot?
Absolutely. This is one of the main advantages of using Femco.
Can I use a Suction System?
All three Femco designs can drain by gravity or suction. Simply connect your suction system to one of our drainers and non-return valves.
What if I can't find a size?
Femco makes over 500 combinations of thread sizes and patterns. Please call us with your application, and we will find the size for you.
Is there a minimum order amount?
No. Femco customers and dealers can order as few or as many plugs as are required.
What are the Shipping Terms?
Product is shipped FOB Origin. UPS Ground is the most common shipping method.
How many of these drain plugs are in use?
There are over 1,000,000 in use in North America.
What are the plugs made of?
The plugs are machined from solid brass bar stock.
What is the warranty for the drain plugs?
Femco plugs are guaranteed for life for workmanship and materials.
Do I need to buy a dust cap with my drain plug?
No. Femco drain plugs come with a dust cap. Replacement dust caps and dust caps with chains are available for a fee.
