So you can work on it moonlight while full ? Should fit into the tank connector inside the tank you could get a bit wet putting it in. Kop

Google swet jet
Hello All,
`Jet Swet` - here is what SEEMS to be a kit on ebay with 15mm - 22mm & 28mm tools [?] - however the listing just states `28mm` - check before buying or find another listing:
28mm Jet Swet - Water flow prevention device - Nerrad Tools | eBay
Also does anyone know whether the 28mm tool can be inserted through a 28mm Tank Connector - or is it just slightly smaller than about 25mm to be inserted into a 28mm pipe ?
Even though a 28mm Tank Connector is theoretically close to about a 25mm bore I am sure that we have all come across some that have either a slightly smaller bore or perhaps have `lugs` inside the bore [some older fittings].
I mention this only because these Jet Swet tools are not `cheap` - unless they do fit and one uses them regularly - in which case they are worth every penny.
Perhaps we can find the size / starting diameter somewhere online ?
Chris
EDIT: Screwfix - `Monument Nylon Drain Bungs` [NOT `Drain Bungs`] - 15mm - 22mm & 28mm Set - for plugging Copper pipes:
6 Nylon Drain Plugs
moonlight - perhaps these are worth a try - Reviews mention successfully plugging off a CWS using these bungs to replace Gate Valves on a CWS Tank - also much less expensive than the Jet Swet tools.

Hello again moonlight,
I mentioned the positive reviews for the Monument Pipe Bungs on the Screwfix listing webpage - however I had only read the first few reviews when I posted the Edit and the link to the Bungs.
On page 2 of the reviews are a couple more - one which criticises the quality of the Bungs [surprisingly for Monument products] - and one where the purchaser came across Tank Connectors similar to what I described above - although his had grooves inside the bore rather than `lugs` - the Bungs were still no good for those Tank Connectors.
Regards,
Chris

I recall one of the past members, Colin, always recommended using a parsnip to bung a tank well.
I also would like to source a proper sized rubber bung for 28mm tank connectors. I only have a bung I made with piece of a brush shaft and insulating tape

For blocking 28mm tube, id ca 25.6 mm These look worth a punt to me
Rubber Stopper Solid 25x28.5x28 (Pk10)
A fiver for a pack of 10 including delivery. Might be worth measuring the id of a typical 28mm tank connector before ordering. Same oufit do a range of sizes:
Rubber Bungs | Lab Consumables | Edulab - Page 3 - Edulab
and it's possible the next size down:
Rubber Stopper Solid 23x25.5x28 (Pk10)
would be a better fit in practice. You can always wrap a couple of turns of insulating tape round the smaller one.
