Default Coolant drain outlet

Anyone know what size the outlet barb is on the radiator?

ID/OD?

Want to get a short section of clear hose from HD/Lowes.

Thanks!

Once upon a time, I thought that was a great idea.. the problem with it is that it will take FOREVER to drain all the available coolant that way...

Every time I've started draining it that way, I end up removing the whole plug because it is super slow to drain it all through that small hole...

Sorry, not much help I know its most likely 3/8 or 5/16" ID, but don't quote me...
