[QUOTE="enwez, post: 464765, member: 24535"] I'm trying to look at it from a manufacturing view point... Like, having it right on the edge makes it harder to drill and weld... but then you just make it 1/2" from the bottom (which is plenty of clearance)... it just doesn't make sense! I work in fluid processing and we build custom tanks out of polypro, stainless, hdpe, etc so its not like this is a foreign thing to me. My guys can get a welded drain plug almost flush to the bottom. It takes longer which makes it more expensive, but the 'cheap' option is making it a smidge farther from the bottom not half way up! Or on the bottom... [/QUOTE]
