Probably be best if you just removed the drain plug and took it with you to the hardware store so you can match the threads. I'm not positive but I think the threads on the plug are straight pipe but it could be something else.
You could also drill and tap threads in the plug itself and install a petcock with a hose.
Or you could do what I do, funnel the water out of the way with something that would act as a channel to get the water to the outside of the heater box.
