How much?
Would be very handy for to solder on to a pipe in a screed floor continually dripping with water coming from rest of pipes in house.
 
These wouldnt help you solder a new rad in place using the bung method would they? You;d still need to retract them through a full bore valve which you dont want to use...sometimes annoyingly you just cant solder when bunged (eg/ downstairs under floor).
 
Try that on anything with a bit pressure on and you will be cleaning up for a while.
If you are going to do it live cut it and bang a valve on in half the time with less mess.

I've got the 15, 22 and 28mm.

I think the video shows a tricky situation but demonstrates an advantage it clearly has over any other type of plug on the market, no question there. Have I used mine for that type of situation, not at all.

I do quite a bit of power flushing (don't hate me for it) and it saves me quite a bit of time on setting up an open vented system for a flush.

It's a right pain in the backside connecting the flusher to the pump valves and then opening up the valves and flusher and guessing when you've emptied the F and E enough to cap the fill. Up and down into the loft and before you know it, you've emptied the upstairs rads !

I simply whack a jet swet in the fill from the F and E and push a speed fit onto the vent. Can start flushing in minutes and as I say, no need to cut and cap the fill.

Then I just take my time bailing out the F and E while the flusher does it's work and I don't end up dragging all the crud from tank down into the system.

Also used mine for putting a vacuum in a system a few times to change rad valves or motorised valves.

One thing I will say is that it's the only bung that you could have 110% faith in, once it's in, it's in and it won't come out till you take it out. Even left site once with it temporarily blocking a main.

A good bit of kit to have in the van
