Default Radiator drain cock - how tight

Just had a radiator replaced in a 97 accord - the first replacement
radiator leaked - Modine made in Mexico and now I discovered the
replacement is leaking around the drain cock or through the drain cock.
The plastic valve in the drain cock was fairly loose. Is finger tight
enough and is there anything you can do to keep these things from
leaking.

I think the mechanic - who was in a big hurry to get the job finished
just did not tighten the thing.

Any input would be appreciated.

thanks
