    No drain plug? Well then it is what it is. You are obviously extremely knowledgeable and will keep an eye on this. I hope it works out for you! :2thumbs:

    Seems zinc anodes would protect a copper-brass radiator from
    corrosion as well?


    My previous Modine radiator ran for 20 years which was a copper/brass.

    Never showed any signs of corrosion.
    I sold it to a member here and it's still in operation.
