Plumb Tub - SPI Radiator Draining Tub - Supplied in SPI Green

Excellent product, makes it so much easier to drain rads with no spillage.

Excellent does the job fine

The golden rule, especially when it comes to plumbing is make sure you have everything you need, then add/buy more things !My dad always used to say "You can never have too many tools, even if you just use them once". I made a BIG mistake when I had to change old 45 year old TRV's with more modern ones, but it wasn't as simple as I had thought, as not only did I have to remove the old TRV but also replace the fitting that goes into the radiator itself as well, which unbeknown to me, involved a 'special tool', then all was well until I came to the fourth radiator, and disaster struck, I ended up with the whole heating system draining out over the hallway carpet, not to mention me as well, several towels, and 6 kitchen towels later I was getting the hallway back to normal, but just SO, SO embarrassing. If I had bought the SPi Radiator Maintenance Kit (of which this is half) that disaster would have been avoided, as the two tapered QuickBung plus would have been pushed in to the pipes, stopping the water flow, although I did have two plugs but they were too thick and NOT tapered so just wouldn't fit. I have also done a LOT more research (watching a few videos for starters), and will take more precautions next time, but the Tapered Bungs and this Draining Tub will play a big part too, I have tried the tub on my microbore pipe, and because the tub is 'flexible' it fits nice and tight on the pipe (there are 3 sizes cut outs and I used the smallest) but I will also pull the carpet right back, put a waterproof sheet and some old towels down plus a kitchen bowl and a couple of buckets near by, finally make sure I have a hosepipe leading outside (wish I had thought of that before !) in case a similar thing happens again... it won't though as I now know how to 'seal the system' in the roof so that all the water just can't come out. Conclusion : I am a classic example of thinking I had taken all precautions, and I hadn't, but for me this kit (please buy the bungs as well, and it is cheaper if you buy them together !) is No. 1/Top on the list of things to buy. It is a great idea, but have a really good think as to what else you might want to buy as well. 5 stars all day long for me though ! I hope this review helps someone out there avoid a disaster like I had a couple of years ago.

Really good product, wish I had bought one years ago, durable and fitted perfectly around the pipe.

Just the job

Handy tool for central heating jobs.

This was bought to bleed a radiator ready for adding a cleaner such as Ferrox 100. It is ideal for wrapping around pipes to avoid spills.

Arrived promptly and on time. Does what it’s supposed to.

Produkt gut. Rechnung sinnlos. ich brauche die Rechnung für die Buchhaltung. der Verkäufer stellte eine Rechnung aus mit dem Text: P F L A U M E N B E H Ä L T ER Ärgerlich.

Not bad, but expensive
