23/64 (9.0mm) Then just screw them in and the thread will seal them against the PVC

I believe I read somewhere in the forums that QC supply recommends using an 11/32" bit. That is what I used and it worked perfectly- I didn't have to seal it or anything.

Are you using the type that snap into a rubber gasket or screw in. I have the snap in with the gasket and I used the recommended 11/32 bit. They are all working great!
