in THE MAIN WALL
Just as I suspected that it would the flimsy plastic drain on the Burnam Alliance Sl a rebaged Vaughn Top performer has started to leak. Can I unscrew it and replace with a normal drain. I cant figure out if i can remove it and its just a normal npt thread in the tank shell itself. Thanks in advance!

    It is 3/4" npt...

    you might try a std hose cap 1st before doing all that draining.

       3/4 npt, but u might need a nipple and a fml drain if it is recessed in from the jacket.

    Unfortunately it strarted to leak through the packing nut as well. The person who came up with a plastic drain on a not so cheap tank ..... Thanks, I'll drain it and put a ball type drain.
