Default Drain plug adapter

Looking for the adapters to convert 1/4" brass drain plugs to fit blue merc drain plugs.

Where can I buy them

Thanks

IMO, stay with the brass. The blue plugs need to be replaced every couple of years.

You can get them from any Merc or Sierra dealer.

You can get the Blue Plugs individually for cheap. I carry 1/2 dozen or so with me just in case one needs replacement. Some online places sell in lots of 4,5, or 6 for cheap. Most break because being overtightened. The Blue Plugs have an o-ring and are not pipe thread, therefore, only light pressure needed to seat. I also spray threads with WD-40 or similar.

Here are the Part#'s for pipe adapter and the plugs:
