sears should have the ability to order replacement parts on craftsman tools, but why not read ALL the way THRU this thread as it has an improved drain version info
read page two, for info on a much improved version of the compressor drain

most compressor tanks have a lower drain plug or fitting threaded either 1/4" or 3/8" NPT (national pipe thread) the petcock that threads into that plug or fitting so youll want to replace the main fitting and use a decent sealant on the threads
jegs has a common replacement part as will most really large well stocked hardware stores
