Thanks guys, I since found a YT vid showing the removal & replacement process and for old drain plug too... How exactly do I flush?
Turn off water supply
Relieve pressure.....open/close faucet
Remove drain plug
Then what I do....
Turn water supply back on and let it blow out drain
Then turn water supply back off
Attach WH Wand to hose...stick thru drain hole and flush away.
(WAND..available at any rv parts store.....even Walmart)
Then I give it one more flush with water supply on
Clean up drain hole threads..I use a short pipe nipple (1/2" pipe thread if Atwood-----3/4" pipe thread if Suburban). Screw nipple in/out of drain hole to chase threads.
Then install drain plug.
