Where to buy a pipe bung

[flutterbye]

Does anyone know where I can buy bungs for the FE header tank 15mm feed and 22mm expansion pipe?
Lots of threads around but all the links are old and now broken.

Was hoping I could buy them tomorrow so not having to wait for internet delivery etc.

screwfix sell LOADS of bungs, tried them?

Most merchants have them on the shelf

if you get really desperate i think B&Q do some too (bit expensive vs screwfix or your local merchant)

Many thanks for the replies!

I can get to screwfix but I can't see anything on their site. Did a search for "bung" and "stop" and didn't come up with anything

Just do it like a pro.

Use a carrot.

depends which ones you want , there's two main types which i carry, the regin ones and monument screw in ones. Both have their advantages which is why i have both... If its a one off job just use a pushfit cap for the vent and a blob off blue tac for bunging the cfeed

Thanks

I found this one (link below) - is that one of the two? What are the advantages/disadvantages? I'd buy from you but unlikely you're in my area.

Also re bluetack isn't there a risk it could get sucked into pipe ?

I'll try to clarify in my own quaint way....!
You have to close off two pipes 1) The outlet from the bottom of the tank
2) The expansion pipe that curves above the tank.
If you can seal both of these you'll lose the minimum of water.
Only personally, I use a bung for the outlet, and have been known to use a handfull of putty (aka Blu Tak) for the expansion pipe. It doesn't get sucked in.
