I need a line on a Drain Pipe for my Westinghouse standard tank liner.
I see Fun-Tronics sells one, but it's round at the top. My tank iner has a hex shaped depression in it, and I would prefer to keep it that way.

Also, anyone know where I can find some replacement anti vibration rubber feet for my compressors.
strangely seems hard to find on the internets... either that or I am just not a good searcher.

Also, any recommendations on what to use under the liner for insulation?  Rather than the pressed wood insulation it came with?

The one shown at funtronics will not work on yours, it is way too small. I have one in my tool box to prove it biggrin.  I was not able to find a direct replacement for the entire drain flange but did see some promising alternatives at my local pluming store. I found a brass one that had the correct outer diameter to slip into the hole and also had the correct pipe size / thread pitch on the inside. The only issue I would have is it was round on top not hex, so my plan was lay the old plug on top, trace around it and grind it down a bit to make it into the hex shape I needed.  Fortunately I was able to salvage my old one just needed to replace the locking nut.

Glad I checked before ordering.  But I think it's unlikely I will be able to salvage mine.
I have found a few hex bushings that are really close, except the hex part is usually about 1/4" thick.  Might have to do some grinding myself.

Appreciate the info!

Go to your local refrigeration wholesale parts house and if they don't have rubber for compressors you could use some that go on a fan motor . They should have one or other.

For future reference i just found this the HEX drain on sodajerkworks.  Of course this after I have spent hours with my dremel cleaning the rust and corrosion out the original :-)

I might just buy one anyway
