No, it is the same plug that came with my RV when I bought it
It leaked after the water heater cycled a few times due to the hollowness of the plugs.
There's something in the number 91561 that I don't understand.

The hot water heater that came with my coachmen, a Freedom Express 192RBS, was a Dometic/Atwood. I feel like the hot water heater's design layout is really crummy because it makes it hard to remove the water from the tank at the end of the season by removing the drain plug. By using traditional wrenches, it is impossible to access the 15/16" drain plug because it is blocked by other associated hardware. I found that even with such a wrench, it was difficult to turn the plug at first. Due to the angled design, I was able to get the plug close to the plugged, but at first I was only able to rotate the plug a couple of There were many micro-adjustments that I imagined I would have to make To remove the plug, I turned the wrench plenty, but I discovered that by angling the wrench even more, so that the bottom portion was placed on the back of the plug and the top on the outer side, I was able to get the wrench past the obstruction and remove the plug quickly. It gets four out of five stars. It's not my fault that I didn't review the replacement plugs. Though they seem pretty cheap, if my OEM plug wears out, I will almost certainly replace it with a replacement. It is nice to see Teflon tape on the threads Afterwards, the spring can be installed again and the plug will prevent leaks from occurring. Regardless of the type of tape, however, be sure to wrap it around the threads in the proper direction so that as the plug is screwed in, the end will not be unwound.
I have installed these plugs more than a decade ago, and they have both leaked within a year or so. The first one didn't even last three days before hot water began to leak This junk is sold by Camco and should make them ashamed. In this type of plug, the split usually occurs between the threaded parts just underneath the hex head. In a hot water application, this plug is extremely weak because the material is weak in the first place. Moreover, some penny-sized pieces add further weakness to the design. Pincher decided to save two cents of plastic resin by making the center of the plug hollow! Towards the root of the threads, there is a very thin plug. Why is this junk being sold? Why, why, why do we tolerate such things? If the hex head of the plug breaks while you are tightening or trying to remove the leaky plug, you will have to remove the remaining piece from the threaded drain hole, which is a major hassle. Instead of going through the trouble of a brass NPT plug, buy a brass one.
I use this wrench on my 6-inch nut driver The water heater for my Grand Design Imagine RV is a 55-gallon Atwood gas/electric water heater. Using an extension is not as simple as using a socket. This is a good solution, but it The process takes between five and ten minutes Because the space limitations limit the amount of time you can turn the plug, a figure of 6th turns at a time is needed to loosen it. * * * * The One spare plug has a 7/8" hex head, and the other has a 5/8" Neither size is too big or too small for the wrench. Although I believe that the stock plugs are good for a long while before needing the spares, it's always good to keep spares on hand. Keeping this with your RV is a good idea.
It is one of the most useless tools I have ever owned! Camco Water Heater Drain Kit - It would have fit, but the large socket (15/16") was too small to fit the large plug on my water heater, and the 7/8" wrench fit the drain valve plug, but it was impossible to get the opening over the drain valve tabs. It was therefore impossible to unscrew the plug head without engaging the plug head. However, even if any of the sockets worked, there would have been no way to use the wrench on my Suburban water heater due to no enough room to turn the wrench without hitting the gas line, flame chute, or heat shield. Having trouble aligning it with the plug head so that it would engage, let alone turning it to unscrew the plug, was impossible! The so called "prongs" (which I assumed would engage the drain valve tabs) cannot engage with those tabs because the 1/4" outlet drain collar of the trap is longer than the prongs thus, it is impossible to engage them. To sum it up, there was nothing that worked on this wrench. In all honesty, this investment was probably one of the worst I have.
Unfortunately, the wrench has no use at all! No way to turn the wrench if there's no space to get a grip on There is no way I can get to the plug on my Atwood with the wrench.
It may work on others, but it is just the wrong angle for my It seems reasonable to assume that Camco would have designed a wrench that fits every RV water heater in existence.
I wasn't impressed with the performance. There is an angle on this to reach the plug, which might be behind a gas line (as is the case in my case, at least). Yet the angle still seems to be off, and a crescent wrench seems to be the better choice. Although I would like to return it, I used one of the plugs, so I guess I'll keep it (or donate It's better to use an adjustable wrench of standard size.
When I needed to replace my original RV hot water heater plug, I thought a CAMCO product would work well. Approximately 9 months have passed since then. Several drips of water have been noticed coming out of my hot water heater cover. My hot water heater is hooked up to city water at a campground (under normal pressure). A tiny stream of water sprays out of the head of my CAMCO plug as soon as I open the door. Compared my old plug to the CAMCO one, I found that the CAMCO one was MUCH THINNER than the original. I was able to change them out at the store. The cost of this piece is low compared to most RV parts. It's best not to buy a low-quality car on a whim Replacing your device for a high price is something you will regret eventually.
