I see you're a victim of our automated cuss word eliminator. ;D

Hint: Combine the words to get what you mean to say. ie, "draincock"

Lots of discussion on this on the CSO site. Use the search tab and type in "drain plug" (not the "c" word that will call out the cussin police) and you will get lots of threads with good information. There is some discussion in several of them about installing a "draincock," what kind to buy, and how to do it (installing the plug, that is ;D).
