Rubber bungs for loft tanks

[RayPooley]

Sounds like a good alternative to draining the tank while I replace teh gate but when I do the calcs there's only about half a pound of water pressure keeping the thing in. I don't know whether I am happy with that when there's 50 gallons of water in it ready to escape. I would be happier if there were some kind of spring loaded contraption that I could put between the bung and the other side of the tank to improve its security.

Anyone know of such a device? Home made even?

Thanks

Now you're talking. Nice bit of kit. A bit pricey though. Nevertheless it has given me an idea.

True but easier enough design to fab up

Your what? Bung or Jet Swet? Can you post a pic if it's the bung so I can see what type it is? Cheers.

Pointed black rubber bungs. You push them in and twist.

I was looking for that one on Amazon and eBay. No sign of it. I think it's the first time I have wanted something that I can't find on those two sites.
