Draicock tool

[MarcoM]

Hello I need to empty an immersion heating system and require a tool to open the draicock, pic attached.
What tool do I need?

Thanks

Spanner, pliers...

No special or specific tool. Adjustable spanner, open ended spanner of correct size, or utility key.

Thanks. Also normal hose size to empty system?

Yes, everyday garden hose, or there are better ones.

If you are asking how to drain the cylinder, do you think you will be able to do anything else?

Don't expect water to come out when you open the cock, don't expect it to stop weeping once you're done.
Watch some youtubes.
