26 forum posts	Hi, has any one had any experience installing Stuart models 5/32 drain cocks? They are supposed to be a 5/32 32 thread, and that is what I cut on a scrap piece of brass. The cock will only thread on about 1 full turn before locking up. I checked every thing twice, but it will not go. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John.
