Or with the valve closed, drill a hole from downstream into the centre of the ball. When you close the valve and drain the line below the valve, the small amount of sap normally trapped in the ball can then also drain out. It is usually easier to disassemble the valve to drill the ball than to do it in place. Be sure there are no burs or sharp edges on your drilled hole to damage the sealing material.
