Not worth the riskI've used this method several times with no problem. There's no way a big lump of mait will get into the pipe, small piece highly unlikely but maybe just possible, and if it did it would come out via a tap.

Ive had the issue with this hot tap and air in the systen ever since I installed the sink and tap, but had noticed a small leak on the hot line hence why i replaced some of the hot water feed pipe, hoping this would solve the problem. The install was done around three months ago and the tap is used daily so I dont think its going to right itself. Ive have a feeling it may have something to do it with being a high pressure tap on a low pressure system?? The flexi's are so restrictive, the old skin didnt have a mixer tap it was two seperate taps and the flex pipes were alotless restrictive.Looks fine should sort it self out over a week under normal operation
That's your opinion, mine's differentNot worth the risk
If I remember right, on mine the tank connector has internal ribs, to take a key when installing, so a bung wouldn't work. And some have raised lugs on the flange for same reason, and on that type my method wouldn't work. Horses for courses. My method works fine on my system, DIY-er or not.And by your own admission you are a DIYer so I would use a bung and do it the professional way
OK no problem!That’s fine and I’m not criticising I just wouldn’t risk it in a paying customers home
