[AT] 430V Freeze plug

Don,t know what system you’re using, but most have some type of calendar where you can enter notes on a specific day. Some can be programmed to provide a notice when something has been added to the calendar. 

Also, some have a “Notes” program where you can do the same thing.

Do a search on your system using words like: notes, alarms, to do list, etc

I remember when the plugs were made of brass and did not rust through. What I need is a template for Microsoft Access that allows a person to perform all the recommended maintenance, like antifreeze changes, from a programmed reminder. 

We all knew exactly what was meant by the term "freeze plug". Why change to a less well defined term?

Steve Offiler AT List member Mechanical Engineer (soffiler at gmail.com); I tend to agree with Thomas that the true purpose of the plugs is related to the cores used in the sand casting process; but I have to wonder - where did the term "freeze plug" come from?  The proper terminology, based on the online parts outfits like Napaonline and Rock Auto, seems to be "expansion plug". That strikes me as pretty close to "freeze".  On the other hand, every cracked block I've ever seen was equipped with plugs, which does not speak highly of their effectiveness to protect from freezing damage.  It strikes me that the term "freeze plug" perpetuates a myth.
