Agreed, I've been planning this same project just to get more threads engaged, mine only thread in about 1.5 threads.

OK, I now also have the same problem. I'm trying to determine if the 3/4 NTP is the same thread size/pitch as the 3/4" galvanized plug at Lowes (or the 3/4" gas black pipe). The threads line up with my old plug. I just want to make sure before trying to get these one.
I couldn't find a brass fitting (tee, reducer) to match the same thread pitch. The ones I found were more coarse.....like a hose type thread. I saw a lot of MIP type threads, but no NTP's. Does Lowes/HD have a 3/4" tap this size? Is it a common one?

I had the same problen a few years back, I chased the threads with a 3/4 NPT tap then installed 1/4 turn ball valves on each side. Now when I winterize I just turn the valves to drain, no more removing the plugs.

Go to an ACE hardware store- they have a set of sliding panels with bins, filled with brass fittings. |

The plug I pulled out matches the black pipe but whose to say the old one is correct. I guess I'll have to assume it is after all these years.
