[Public-List] Drain plugs

[Gordon Laco]

That’s pretty much what I do… teflon tape AND the same grease we use on Voyager fasteners.

> For years I winterized a couple of water pumps at the cottage by pulling the drain plugs. One spring the threads were so rusted that I too had to run a tap in order to install the plugs.  That is when I realized that a lot of the rust occurred because of exposure to air. (even more of a problem with cast iron plugs)  My new routine is to pull the plug and while it drains, rap fresh Teflon tape on the plug, then re-install.  I always have clean threads and no searching for the "safe" place I put them.
