nm - looks like it does.

so what size hose do these take? can you just use vinyl or is there something else that should be used?
Yes, you pull on the handle, and then rotate 90 degrees to open the valve. And, if you ever decide to do a Used Oil Analysis, rotating the valve less than 90 degrees slows the flow, making it easy to take your sample without making a mess.

I don't remember what size hose it needs. I just brought my valve to the local home center before I installed it and figured out what hose fit best. I used a clear hose so that I can see the oil flowing through it.
