Storage Tank Rubber Bung ?

[Vezza91]

Hi Guys i'm fairly new here.

I'm looking for a rubber bung i can use to block off a cold feed on a storage tank but i cant seem to find one anywhere, Just wondered if anybody new anywhere i can get one from. Or even what to ask for.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Haha just to clarify...I don't endorse the use of itchy glass based products to create vacuums in heating systems.

What program is this? You use them for a completely different reason and you can make jetswets for about £3, it's only a bit of steel and a rubber blank.

With one of your 'made up' bungs, would you be confident enough to use it to hold up mains pressure, leave site to go and pick up a valve or materials and return to site knowing that the house hasn't been flooded ????

me I'd just turn off the mains before leaving, not that I'd have to having got all my bits before I start work

:smilewinkgrin: That's why my jobs always over run then !!

On a serious note though, i've used my jets swets quite a few times and they are a real 'confidence' tool.......once it's in, it's in.

Cheers for all replies guys.
