Drips when closed, pours when open.
It did not drip at all until after one full year.
I just tried flushing it this weekend. I filled the 40 gallon tank and let several gallons pour out the valve. I also opened and closed it numerous times. It still drips. Slowly, but it sure makes a mess in the garage. I should put a bucket under it.
This particular valve appears to be a standard valve available at any hardware store. It is attached to a clear hose with a stainless steel host clamp. RSN (Real Soon Now) I will just replace it.
