Lanyard pull for draining air tanks

Just a quick question... Tired of having to raise & block the coach just to drain the moisture out of the Front/Rear/HWH air tanks (My lard counter weight gets in the way)
 Should I sheath the lanyard (cable) with copper tubing when I route it to the side of the coach for easy access?
Thinking of sheathing along the front bulkhead for support, but just letting it swing from tank to bulkhead, and I haven't really figured out a good route for the lanyard to the HWH tank just yet.. Any suggestions (pic's?) more than welcome

I haven't done it yet, but I plan on just remote mount the valves like the wet tank and mounting them in front of the street side front tire.

I looked at plumbing these to that location, issue being running interference with the suspension and steering, altho in front of the steer tire would lessen damage from debris thrown up by the tire. may still have to route the HWH tank and the front tank that way due to lanyards not being  long enough.
