What should the drain plug be torqued to on the A6 compressor sump?

Always just made sure it was tight and that was about it for me.

Memory is going to hell, wasn't this drain plug a NPT? Think it was, but going back about 25 years since I had an A-6.

Has anyone ever seen torque specifications anywhere for a pipe thread? In all my travels, just don't recall ever seeing specifications on NPT's. Just tighten the damn thing so it doesn't leak.
