They will, I use MD050317 exclusively though. I like crush washers that actually crush as opposed to copper washers that...don't.

i'm going to say yes. It crushes nicely I use them on all 14mm drain plugs that I have; cars and motorcycles. never had one leak on me

very easy to crush. you can feel the bolt and washer get tight, then you can feel it crush because the force to tighten is about 30% more but it's not inhibiting, it keeps turning, then you can feel it bottom out when it's done crushing. no need for "extra blips" or turns because you can feel it the whole way through

That's the fill. The drain is bigger. 15/16 or 24mm hex, and I think its 16mm thread..
