Is the drain hole plug completely leak-proof?

Not exactly. I use it as a pond for my fish and have to do weekly water changes. I will tell you that it certainly leaks, not a ton but enough that there is water outside everyday. I caulked around it though that still doesn't help much. I am going to need to find a solution before it gets too bad.

There seems to be no problem. There was a dent in the first tank ordered that caused leakage. This tank is doing fine and the winter home for my outdoor fish seem to be doing well.

In theory, yes. I use mine as essentially a filter for my pond, and for the most part, I don't have issues with leaking. Due to some rough treatment on my part, however, it will occasionally let a sliver of water through if it's not positioned correctly. As long as you don't strip the drain plug fixture while using a socket wrench and pliars, you should be ok.

YES! It is actually a water trough for livestock so the drain does seal itself by tightening. If your concerned about leakage you could remove the plug & use plumbers tape when replacing the plug, or use a tree repair seal, heavy black tree seal on the inside of the trough, & let it set until rigid then fill with water to check for leakage.

I don't know, as I am using as a planter. I drilled holes in the bottom and filled with dirt and mulch. This way you don't have to get on your hands and knees to plant and maintain.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

No, it should not leak. Please align and distribute the gasket equally around periphery before locking and operation.

There is only one drain hole, and it is located in the center (and has a plug)

Yes - our dishwasher drains into it, and it plugs into an outlet on the back wall of our cabinet under the sink. The leaks that both of our units developed were directly across from the inlet from the dishwasher, where the unit housing had cracked. Every time the dishwasher discharged into the unit, it would leak - this happened to two separate, identical units, both of which had to replaced within one year of their installation.

It holds pretty good even with the disposal on in the other sink. Its a really good drain plug, I highly recommend it.

It has seals, All I did was drill the hole and installed it, no leaks what so ever

The hole that we drilled is very small. Only enough for the drain. The curve has not posed any problem. No leaking as far as I know.

No, the drain would have to be closed for a good seal. Which would be pointless.

Leak proof about100% for mine, currently about seven month. I had another one started leaking after 1.5 year.

I would have to say no. It has a foam handle. There does not appear to be any type of drain holes.

Yes, BUT be careful it will burn you and it will show you all the weak spots in the drain pipe by causing a leak.

I didn't use any plumbers putty since the drain comes with a rubber/silicone type seal for above and below the sink. I've had no leaks.

It is leak proof. Even by leaving it unlocked it won't leak. I still lock out every time I throw it inside my bagpack, just in case!

I bought mine several years ago and don't even have it any longer, but no, I don't remember any drain plug.

Push and Seal is open for draining beneath plug whether plug is open or closed. I have three of them installed.

Not exactly, you have to seal the base with silicon in order to make it water proof. When installed, the outlet top is very high (about 6 mm) and has a double wedge protection and a groove to direct any spill on the opposite side of the holes of the electric outlet
