Plumb Tub

I don't know why I did not have one of these before! Catches drips whilst you work out wherefrom and catches the flood as you let the water out. Good quality. Three holes to match different pipe sizes. Sadly for me there was not enough space behind the pipe to get right in there, but the next radiator I tackle it is very likely to fit.

What a great bit of kit ! This is very useful if your a plumber or someone like myself who does a lot of DIY jobs around my house and for other people. In the past when I would drain a radiator I would have to find a tub that fit under the pipe and get some towels ready as it would always leak over the floor, well not anymore with this. This has 3 corners to fit different size pipes. We have 22mm, 15mm and 10mm, the 10mm is the one shown in my picture. Easy to use just hook around your pipe and clip into place and any excess water will run into the tub and not all over the floor. Its just the right size to fit under a radiator and in those tight gaps that a normal square or round tub just wont fit. For just under £10 this is a great bit of kit, wish I got one years ago.

Used to drain radiators, it's a good idea and works fairly well but I would still put down a few towels as it doesn't catch all of the water and it's not big enough to drain in one go, you have to empty it a few times for larger rads.

Saw a plumber using one of these and got one myself for the odd bits of minor work I do around the house. His one was pretty well used and still in one piece so they must be pretty robust. It's able to hold quite a bit of water, so you're not worried about the thing filling up and overflowing all the time. Due to the shape, as well as putting one of the corners around a pipe, you can also get it right up against a wall or into a corner. Not the cheapest of items given the simple design, but if it saves you getting water and muck on the your carpet then it's worth the price. Top tip - a wet and dry vacuum cleaner used in conjunction with this is a power combo - you can literally suck the water out of a pipe/radiator/whatever and any you miss will end up in the plumb tub - or use it on its own the smaller jobs. Easy to use, does the job, sensible size!

Good product.

Good value

Nice handy little drain tub. A must for mess free radiator work. Reasonably priced too.

Worked well. Kept the carpet dry!
