Hi, first time trying to maintain a boiler system. We noticed our boiler shows instructions on draining a bucket of the water once a week turning the valve a quarter counter-clock wise. The handle has a stop so it can only go that much. But when I turn the valve nothing drains out. I've had it open all day and got about 2 cups worth of water.

Should I try and take the handle off and turning it more (in the theory that its set too tight and not opening enough), or is it possible the drain is clogged?

thanks!
