Fumoto Valve Size Replace Briggs & Stratton 5401K

[Hilbe]

I have a Craftsman 21hp 42 inch deck tractor. I installed the Briggs & Stratton Oil Drain Valve 5401K this past oil change. It was *very* close to the steering rod going to the right front tire. Yesterday the valve busted off and shot oil all over my lawn. I quickly turned the mower off to prevent damage. My question is does anyone have this same motor and know what size of Fumoto valve will fit? I've used them in my cars and feel more confident in the brass valve vs plastic B&S valve.

Not having a recent Briggs engine from the last 5 years but all of my old ones used a plug that was 3/8 pipe thread for the side mounted drain plugs. The only Fumoto with that thread is the F110N with a hose nipple.

F110N: Nipple Type Oil Drain Valve NPT 3/8-18
