Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / April 2005Size of water heater plug?
I need to reinstall the water heater drain plug on my 2000 Springdale camper. Anyone know what size socket wrench it takes? I thought someone told me 18mm but I forgot. >I need to reinstall the water heater drain plug on my 2000 Springdale >camper. > Anyone know what size socket wrench it takes?

This is a big socket,I dont work on cars,I dont have anything bigger than 15mm. Was just asking hoping that someone knew off the top of their head.

I know that when I needed to pull it, I just put a tape measure across it (flat to flat) and then hit an auto parts store to buy what I needed. If there truly are 7/8 and 1-1/16 ones (and possibly others) you aren't going to get a valid answer for yours here.

Sheesh Crescent wrench or channel locks work fine. And since it's pipe plug, I doubt seriously it's mm anything. It will be a SAE American something 16ths. SignatureFrank Tabor >Crescent wrench or channel locks work fine. On my Suburban (thanks to Bill for explaining that 1-1/16 and 7/8 are the Suburban/Atwood standards) there is absolutely no chance that you could ever use a Crescent Wrench or Channel Lock. Even with a standard socket an extension was required to get a rachet on it.

Even with a standard >socket an extension was required to get a rachet on it. Due to the gas line running in front of mine, a box or open end type wrench is required for mine. Maybe one of those ratchets in a box wrench. SignatureFrank Tabor I personally use a lug wrench on mine.

Try a polish metric wrench, made by Cresent Suburban water heater = 1 1/16" (metal plug with anode rod) Atwood water heater = 7/8" (plastic plug) Bill, RVIA Certified Tech. >I need to reinstall the water heater drain plug on my 2000 Springdale >camper. >Anyone know what size socket wrench it takes?
