That's what I would have recommended. I had a similar problem with my setup where the filter bottom was on top of a stringer and I couldn't get anything under it to catch the fuel/water. Ended up plumbing a 90 degree off a ball valve with a hose barb then a short piece of hydraulic hose with a capped flare fitting that I tie wrap to the side of the housing. When I need to drain the racor I cut the tie wrap, uncap the hose and open the valve.
