Atwood Hot water heater drain plug
Hello, My 5th wheel has an Atwood hot water heater that came with a nylon (plastic) drain plug. The location of the plug makes it very difficult to get a wrench or anything on it to remove the plug...

NOte about brass or steel plugs or nipples.... There is a reason Atwood put in a nylon plug.. Corrosion. Non alike metals corrode.
Why then do they use these?
1. They are NOT a common removable part and NOTE the Teflon on the threads
2. NON Nylon plugs GAUL(seize) when dissimiliar metals are secured.
3. The drain plugs are supposed to be removed numerous times during the year to drain and also to winterize. Doug
