Most water heaters come with a plastic threaded plug. I find it to be a pain to remove this for winterizing or even draining it after sanitizing.
I added a camco quick drain to mine. Much faster , easier, drain the water heater without tools.
I have seen reviews complaining about valves like this leaking. I think they failed to take them apart and tape the threads before installation. I use the thick gray type plumbing tape. No leaks at all.
I do keep the plastic plug in there in case i need it.
