Product Information

Full details

The Talon X2 Plumb Tub is an essential tool for professional plumbers and DIY homeowners who need a cleaner way to drain radiators. Its primary benefit is a highly flexible design that fits into tight spaces where standard rigid containers fail, effectively preventing water damage and stains on carpets during maintenance. While it offers excellent versatility for various pipe sizes, users should note its 1.4-liter capacity, which requires frequent emptying when draining larger radiator systems.

FAQs

What is the maximum capacity of the Talon X2 Plumb Tub?

The tub is designed to hold 1.4 liters of water.

Can this tub be used on pipes larger than 22mm?

The tool is specifically designed for 10mm, 15mm, and 22mm pipes; it may not provide a secure fit for larger diameters.

Is the material durable?

Yes, it is made from flexible, durable plastic intended for repeated plumbing use.

Does it prevent carpet stains?

Yes, by capturing the dirty water directly at the source, it helps prevent radiator sludge from reaching your carpets.

How do I clean the tub after use?

Rinse thoroughly with warm water and a mild detergent to remove radiator silt.

Troubleshooting

Water splashing over the edge during drainage

Adjust the angle of the tub to ensure the flow is directed toward the center of the reservoir rather than the edge.

Tub does not fit under the valve

Utilize the flexible nature of the material to bend the edge downwards, creating a lower profile that slides into the gap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: identify the pipe size you are working on (10mm, 15mm, or 22mm) and align the tub's edge accordingly. For maintenance, clean the tub thoroughly with warm, soapy water after every use to prevent the build-up of sludge or debris. Store the device in a cool, dry place; avoid folding or crushing it under heavy items for extended periods, as this may distort the flexible material over time.
