How to measure a drain plug

Pipe thread plugs are tapered and do not need a gasket to seal


We need the thread diameter and thread pitch or threads per inch (TPI)
 Take your plug to a hardware store and find a metric or inch nut that fits
Or measure your plug using the charts below
Finally you may send us your plug and we will measure and match it
