The plugs are pipe threaded; can't think of the size. I took my old ones
to the local True Value Hardware and had them matched up to some
galvanized ones with an allen wrench head. Because they're pipe
threaded, they form kind of an interference fit when tightened.
My drain plug stuck out about 3/4" when I first installed it. I chased
the threads with a tap, and reinstalled. No problems and no leaks.
