I've forgotten the size of these plugs. However, all of them are national pipe thread (NPT) size plugs. Some or all of them may have originally been square indented head. These are a little more difficult to come by, but hex indented head NPT plugs are easily available. I know that Orchard Supply carries them and I'm sure many other hardware stores do, too. For AT LEAST the concealed locations, I would use hex head---they're easier to get a wrench or socket to install.

If you wish to use indented square head plugs, the following are available from GM:

1/4-18------GM #144011

3/8-18------GM #444625

1/2-14------GM #25522466 (supplied in package quantity of 10 only)

3/4-14------GM #9409961 or GM #444710
