Question Oil water separator

Does anyone know of an after market valve assy. that can be added to an 06 6.0. There's just no way to drain it with that 6mm allen without it running down your arm.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm sure that works great when you have the availability of a lift Marc. Alas when I'm crawling around in my driveway and just want to drain the water out a valve would sure make life easier.

i remember reading some where that alot of guys go and get a replacement valve for a 6.0 thats in other trucks like a lcf or some thing. those valves are easier to get at and move the outlet away from where it is so the fuel wont go down your arm. my memory's kinda vague but i'm almost positive it was for a 6.0. just some info to research.
