Product Description

The 96970-000 is a manual handle for aircraft fuel sump drain valves. This component actuates the quick-drain mechanism located at fuel-system low points, allowing pilots and technicians to open the valve for fuel sampling or controlled draining during inspection and servicing. The handle interfaces directly with the drain valve stem, requiring minimal force to operate.

Installation follows aircraft maintenance manual specifications and FAA AC 43.13-1B guidance. Commonly found on general aviation and corporate aircraft fuel systems where regular sampling checks are required.
