Seems that should be correct. I personally would do what Wyatt did. Make sense to me just to cut to the straight threads and buy corresponding quick drain. Much smaller hole in pan = other repairs available.

tapped the drain hole to 1 1/8 by 12tpi and obtained perfect threads, so installed the 1 1/8 Fumoto valve.

I pulled. My pan off to do mine. I then decided to get a new pan and,put a remote drain valve on it. I did finish the old pan and still have it tapped with the Cummins fix.
