PM833TV table "drain" thread size?

[LVLAaron]

833TV has a threaded hole on the right hand side of the table - Does anyone know what the thread pattern is? I don't currently have a tap/bolt that fits and want to get a plug for it

If that is for coolant drain, it may be a pipe thread. Likely metric which are British and come in two forms, straight or tapered. Most likely tapered.

Agree, probably British standard pipe thread, either tapered or straight

Well that's annoying.

It is the coolant drain... this is all new to me - is there a standard-ish fitting for this type of thing?

 

[LVLAaron]

I have a coolant system coming... I'm going to guess the fitting pictured here is for the drain in the table...

Do you have a 3D printer? If so, print one up.

Crazy idea - laboratory/scientific rubber stopper.
Screw it in until you get a seal.

You can get BSPP and BSPT fittings from McMaster-Carr, or a local hydraulics dealer might have them too since they are common in hydraulic systems.

The problem is... I wouldn't know which fitting to buy.

The tapered or parallel will be fairly obvious, then measure the pitch and OD of the plug threads and match it to the closest one here https://www.fittings.space/technical-info/british-standard-pipe. If you are still not sure, post the measurements here and we can help narrow it down.
