A drain assembly for a fluid tank having a drain hole therein, the drain assembly comprising:

• a hollow outer member to be coupled with the drain hole;
• a hollow inner member having a proximal end carried within the hollow outer member and a distal end outside of the hollow outer member;
• and
• a strainer cage coupled to the distal end of the hollow inner member and comprising
• a plurality of spaced apart ribs extending longitudinally along an outer surface of the hollow inner member, and
• a cover coupled to the ribs and spaced apart from the hollow inner member by the ribs and defining fluid channels between the ribs.
