Sealing off a hole in a header tank / water butt

[mark.carline]

I have just managed to get an industrial size (600ltr) water butt for my allotment and it has a number of holes where the pipe fittings used to be fitted to - approx 1" in diameter.

Can anyone recommend a method I could use to block these holes up so I can use it for water storage at the allotment.

They currently have brass fittings on the holes that then present to a male 1" screw fitting so I started to try and find a 1" brass end cap and then I saw the price £7! so i'm now looking to remove them completely and try and block them up.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give

Mark

I think you need part no 6608. Its the bore size not the outside, so 3/4" sounds like yours. Make sure you get some sealing washers.
