Well after snapping off two PWR plastic drain plugs over the last 5 years I was done. It was a bit harder than I thought to find what I needed so I hope this helps.
Drain plug is an
M12 x 20mm x 1.5 and is Zinc Plated. 91180A743 (McMaster Carr Part #)
You can use the White or Yellow Teflon tape if you're concerned about it leaking. I didn't use any since I ran out and after a month, no leaks.
I got a rubber M12 gasket at Ace Hardware just to help the Hex Head Bolt seal better. I can finally drain this thing without snapping off the weak and thin plastic drain plug and then fighting it for the next 10 minutes with a pair of plyers.
McMaster Carr sells these in bags of 10 at $10 so I have a few left over if you're in the same boat and need one asap.
