Bung with hole for manometer?
I'm putting together my own manometer, but I need a rubber bung (stopper) with a hole in it to insert into the drone top.
Last time I tried to make one, I took a power drill to a bung from the hardware store, but the result was a bit of a mess. It occurred to me that chemistry/lab equipment will have all sorts of bungs with holes. Where is a good place to buy a bung with a hole in it already? |

I just wrapped the end of the tube in duct tape till it was thick enough to fit in a drone bushing.

Re: Bung with hole for manometer?
Like Paul said, a home brew supply will have what you're looking for. If there's not one near you, try an auto parts supply.

Re: Bung with hole for manometer?
Here's another way:
Lots of hardware stores carry nylon fittings with bayonet barb ends. There are sizes to fit your tubing. (For me, that's ACE hardware's plumbing section.) For the drone top, a right-angle fitting is best. The opposite, threaded-side OD needs to be just a bit smaller than your bush opening ID. A wrap of waxed hemp fits it to your bush. ******** My preferred tubing diameter is too large for a pre-drilled stopper, but for one of those, a right-angle nylon fitting, with a bayonet barb at both ends, works well.
