Source for plastic barrel bung plug?

[Travelover]

I loaned out my plastic 55 gallon barrel and of course it came back missing a bung plug (the fine threaded one).

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a source to get another one?

Thanks.

The fine threaded one is 2" npt pipe thread so any pipe plug will fit.



mcmaster carr will have them if you want a new plastic one

The other one is the hard to find one.

Thanks, guys.

The odd one is a Buttress thread. BTW, if all else fails on a local search, PM me and I'll send you one of each. I think I can spare them.

Thanks for the generous offer. I'm going to super tighten the coarse threaded ones so they don't get used (and lost). I did find a plastic PVC plug at the big box store for 88 cents that works perfectly. The trick was knowing that it was standard pipe thread and what size.

In my search of drums to build these 2 projects I must have wound up with about 15 extra drums that I didn't need.
I sold the extra drums and kept the bung plugs if the person buying the drum wasn't going to use them for something like what I built .
As a result I have a few extra plugs for my system in case I need one.
