From the previous information posted this would be an idea I might consider:
Place an amado water key on the bend of the tuning slide itself closest to where it would be pulled with the hand. Then when the water needs to be dumped simply press the button o the key and pull out the slide and then dump. This would also allieviate the need to drill or cut any oraface into your valves which can potentially cause a weak spot for stress and distortion of the metal to occur. I find though that this amado on the slide might be an interesting proposition that I might try on my "york-a-like" Mel Culbertson at least on the fourth valve.
