Re: Soft plug
OK--Here is an update. The core plug in question had rusted thru, and was in danger of utter failure. We pulled it out, and went back with a steel one. It was actually too small. It just pushed in, but we had Indian Head sealant on it, so we decided to let it set for 24 hrs. Put the pressure tester on it, and it leaked. So we pulled that one out, and went with a brass one that was bigger. Problem with that was that it was big enough to fit like it should, and needed a hammer to coax in, but there isn't enough room to swing a hammer. So, we went with the rubber expanding kind. It seems to be holding. I don't think the rubber one will last forever, but that is about the only option, so it we have to replace it in two years, I guess that's what we will do.
