    My plug is stripped. Anyone know where I can get one. I could use a plumbing part but it has a air release cap so I want to get the real deal.

    Greg,
    you can use a square top pipe plug with a 1/8" hole drilled part way from the bottom to about an eighth of an inch from the top. Then drill a 1/16" hole across two of the flats that intersects the vertical hole you drilled from the bottom. Now you have a vented plug!
