i havent found any drain plugs that fit inside the pvc tubes.

The standard 1" bailer plug should fit into 1" sch 40 pvc. If you used 3/4 sch40, the ID is .81". You can wrap a few layers of tommy tape around a 5/8" bailer plug.

I cannot believe you just mentioned " Tommy Tape " !!!! I had been trying to remember what that tape is called - I have tried to describe it to several good hardware stores, with out knowing the name, and they looked at me like I was crazy.

THANK YOU !

Self fusing silicone tape. It stretches so it can be used on an expanding plug. I've used it on a 1" plug to use in a 1 1/4 drain hole.
