When cleaning out Johnson “T” series tanks, I’ve been using a 1/2″ brass plug to temporarily replace the filter screen fitting for years now. This is done to save the delicate filter screen from damage when shaking the tank with fasteners inside. This plug has worked very well, and that is why it’s a bit confusing.

The brass plug was purchased from a local plumbing supply. Have I unwittingly been using a tapered thread plug all of this time?

Sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know…

 

 

You may not have known the technical what-fors and why-fors, but you must have known there was something different about that thread, which led you to a plumber for a plug.  Experience is a great teacher.

Well, up until you brought this up, I had no idea. My saving grace was that another member recommended the plumbing plug on this forum! I just followed the advice. Always enjoy learning something, though. Thank you, Frank.
