Tank outlet tool

[Bunker]

I can't believe I have to ask this but.... When you get the tank outlets with 2 knobbles rather than large nut, how do you hold them tight? Is there some simple T bar type tool?

depending on make of the "nobbly connectors" your big tap nut spanner (bath one) should fit it .. failing that a good old wood chisel wedged in between flat to the side of the tank always works for me

I use my 15mm bender guide. Does the job.

Thats the way I do it, does the trick and saves buying and varying another tool around 🙂

I chuck them in the scrap bin and use a speedfit tank connector.

Just grip it with grips?

Too expensive for my custards. But I concede the point that pretty much any other tank connector is the way forward

yep Mike I agree. I use them every time, they are superb

I use a large screwdriver stuffed in the hole to engage the lugs.

I use a multipurpose plumbing tool you can find them for around a tenner if you look. The one tool will do all sizes of tank connectors and rad valves n stuff
