Thanks again wood4d. If I am understanding you, 3/4 pipe for drain with 600 wog rating for tank drain valve. I see that they are rated for 300 degrees. I plan on heating up to 275 so will be close. I'll see if I can find higher temp rated valves. As far as the gas burner setup, yes, I considered...

Great idea Wood4d. Thanks. Had given that some thought but not sure which valves would be rated for the heat (approx 300F). Would require a few elbow and extensions to bring it out from from under the tank. Would have to be threaded, not soldered. Sounds like you dip your hives as well. May I...

Thank you!

Thank you all for reply. Greatly appreciate the advice. I bought a stainless steel MNPT 1.25 plug and I get 4-5 turns before it starts to snug up. So it seems it will work. Due to 300 degree F, any thought regarding Teflon tape vs. liquid pipe dope? Again, many thanks. Pete

There are only 8 threads so difficult to tell if it is tapered or straight. It appears to be stainless. My research tells me tapered is more common so I will try getting...
