[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 455571, member: 21536"] I hate it when stuff like this happens. Drive me nuts. The new plug fits the new flange. The old plug fits the new flange. The new plug doesn't fit the old flange. I assume the old plug fits the old flange. Maybe the old flange is gummed up. Clean it out (the inside threads) and try the new plug again? You also say the threads on the new plug are finer, which might indicate it isn't a correct fit. Additionally, you say a 1/2" rubber plug won't fit. A dime is about 3/4" (maybe a little less), so based on your photo this is a little confusing. If this were me and cleaning the threads in the flange doesn't work, I would take the old plug to the plumbing aisle at my local hardware store and look for a match -- brass ones maybe. BTW -- I like your paint job. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screen Shot 2018-07-26 at 8.33.00 PM.png"]98609._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
