Re: Remove/repair broken drain valve (compressor)

Grind down about an inch of the back of a hacksaw blade enough so it will fit in the opening and make a cut in the brass but not too deep to hit the threads. Then tap in a nail to bend it in at the cut. It should fall right out, (or in ) A suitable sized brass pipe plug will do for the repair. Just remove the plug periodically to drain any water, preferably not while under pressure.
