I found a great little 28 qt cooler but it doesn't have a drain plug in it. There has to be an inexpensive and easy way to add a drain plug with some PVC and PVC parts, right?!?! Any help, steps, pics would be great :)
Thanks!

Amazon shows Igloo brand cooler drain plugs for around 7 dollars. Threaded or snap closures.

Here is a link to the Threaded one
Found a solution.... 2 3/4" couplings - threaded on one end (1 on each side); 2" sprinkler system riser to cover the span; 3/4" insert cap; silicon around the holes.
1" drill bit through the cooler
Screw 1 coupling onto one end of the threaded riser
Push that through the hole
Add some silicon to both sides of the opening
Put the other coupling on the other threaded side
Tighten down
As long as the silicon holds, shouldn't have any issues - might add some plumbers putty around each side for piece of mind
