This looks so handy, wondering if it would fit through uk full way isolation valves. But still that pesky bit of 15mm with the water in it? you know the one? haha

looks good i'd buy one if they did metric sizes

 

[TFGplumbing]

If there was a uk stockist I would have already made an impulse buy! haha

Looks better than that jet sweat thing by nerrad

Looks ok but slides into pipe too good that bound to start passing after washer starts to wear, there's something similar someone posted but it opens out to fill the pipe, made by nerrad tools , they've few cool items,

Aye yeh I've seen those jet swet bungs, they look far better and more secure. I would prefer those to Reign bungs, the jet swet ones are good to 75psi

I'am thinking a might start using bungs; as up until now I've always been a drain it all down type of guy. The single use freezing kits are so deer as are the electric ones, Personally I'd love to spend £800.00 quid on a decent freezing machine; but i don't think it would pay for it self quick enough & by the time it had it would probably need maintenance essentially killing the purchase.

Something to stop that annoying trickle of water whilst you solder would be brilliant though.

Seriously?

Wet.Vac.

Seriously?

Wet.Vac.

Yes usually

but we all get those ones that just do not stop sometimes

Yeah all the time!!! I put the wet vac on and it just encourages a big torrent of water down the pipe & then it just goes back to a drop again!!!!

 

[gassafe]

Seriously?

Wet.Vac.

used my wet vac again today when fixing a leak on ch pipework! The water had almost come to a stop but still a constant slow dribble... Out the wet vac on & it just encouraged a whole gush of more water, kept it sucking for ages... Remove wet vac & back to the slow trickle!!!! Grr

 

[LPC]

Dunno; leave it on for 5 mins or so and totally dries it up for me in pretty much every case. Never had an issue with constantly dripping pipes, especially on CH.

 

[CXR100]

wet vac on it, then heat the pipe up with blowlamp further back if you can. I also sometimes try and prop the pipe up!

 

[gassafe]

I'm always scared that it might damage something, like in a combi boiler or create a vacuum & pop the cylinder coil lol!!? Or am I worrying too much!

 

[REDSAW]

thought thats what compresions were for!????
