Does anyone know offhand what the thread size is on the shutoff plug for the oil siphon hose on the bottom of the pan on a M25XP? It looks to be about 1/2 inch. Thanks.

PS: I'm thinking that 1/2" pipe thread would be pretty large for that hose.  Probably an 3/8" or 1/4" NPT plug.


Did you check the parts listing?

I have one of these in my storage room at home.  It looks to be 1/2inch, but do not know the thread size.  If you are not in a hurry, I would be glad to take it to my local hardware store and get the info for you.  I am busy on Thursday and Friday.

Thanks, all. Where exactly do I find the parts listing?

Sorry, the parts list doesn't ID the plug size.  It just lists the entire assembly.

1/4 inch pipe thread in brass

PS:  took it into the hardware store and had it sized.
Reminder that pipe thread is measured by the inside diameter.

All the engine, owners, parts, etc., manuals are on the Tech Wiki under the "Manuals" page listing.

Thanks, Paul, on the way to Home Depot.
