About the Fumoto valve...

I got one a while ago, but for some reason, the one I bought wouldn't go in anymore halfway through. I made sure it was not cross-threaded. It was a PITA to remove and I think I broke it when I finally removed it since it's made of brass. So back to the boring old drain plug.

Which part number did you use? Did I just get the wrong one?

Thanks for the link. Looks like you have to mod it to fit. Hmm... Will think about it.
