Sounds like a good idea......
At £13.98 in the sheds its a daft price for 2 rubber bungs !!
Could save a lot of time etc

    Not a plumber....if I remove a rad I turn the valves off and keep my fingers on the rad outlet/inlets.(then tip it in the garden)...I assume these are just bungs..

    You miss the point, this is designed to allow you to remove the valve without draining down, not the rad.

    Seems pretty limited to storage tank systems and there will still likely be some water lost anyway
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    When BG replaced our central heating motorised valve the engineer went into the loft and presumably stuffed one of your bungs or similar into the feed pipe. Then took the valve off.
    Mind you I had my fingers crossed as he loosened the nuts.
