Pretty sure it's 3/8 UNF.

Mini King has NOS drain tubes if you need to replace it.
But next time mine comes out I'm sticking a grubscrew in it, IMO the drain tube is a PITA...
The RH tank is easier to remove than the LH one is. :evil:

If you put a grub screw in there you'd want some sortof sealant on there too so it can't leak.
