E.G. Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I don't have an auto-seal on my three-hoser, so I've been relying on rubber stopers to seal off the unused hose outlets. One of my plugs seems to have gone missing, howerver, so I was forced to improvise. I wrapped a square of aluminum foil around the outlet, and secured it with a rubber band. Voila -- a perfect seal in seconds! No futzing with rubber stopers and strips of old tee-shirts to ensure a tight fit. Sure, it looks a bit ghetto, but so does having a large black plug with a strip of cloth hanging out of the hose receptor. In fact, I think it looks a bit better, as the aluminum matches the color of the stem. Just thought I'd share... E.G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G. Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Sorry, I'm not that techonologically advanced. I don't have a digital camera or a picture phone. It's not too terribly complicated, though -- it really is as simple as it sounds. Just wrap a bit of foil around the hose outlet like you were sealing up a bowl of leftovers that's going to go in the fridge. Snug, but not so tight the edge of the hose inlet rips the foil. Slap a rubber band aroud the foil to make sure it doesn't fly acorss the room if you blow into the hose. That's really all there is. E.G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
