I'm getting close to building my leading edge tanks, and I've been looking at fuel drains. I've seen some flush mount ones that look like this:

I like them because they get the fuel at the very bottom of the tank without protruding much, but how do you mount these? Is there a internal NPT fitting with an o-ring and a "cage" at the bottom to let fuel get to the openings? Where do you find that, what's it called, or do you need to make them?
