Others have answered your question but another point should be made. I
found out that blindly following the factory's instructions, perhaps revised
since my installation, for the drain kit had me place the drains in the
wrong location. It seems that the factory neglected to note the difference
in attitude (on the ground) of the Tri-Gear and I failed to notice that the
drains were in the wrong place (above the bottom of the tank) until after
the fittings were bonded in place. Bummer.

Hi All,
I am fitting the factory water drains to to my tank and wanted to know
what is best to seal the threads where the joints screw together? My first
thoughts are PTFE Thread tape, or a smear of Redux. Or is there something
El's?
Thank You
Richard Wheelwright.
