How Much?!

[Rorie]

As good as eheim filters are, the spray bar does not come with an end cap which i find very strange!

I am therefore looking online to get one. Ebay, for the first time, has failed me! But some aquatic shops do stock them, as about £3....for a tiny little plastic plug! But the worst part is that its costing £3.50 shipping, so for a little wee stopper, its costing me £6.50!

Other makes must have similar plugs?! Does anybody know where i can get one cheap? Or maybe even have a spare kicking about?!

I did cover the end of the spray bar, and the force of the water that came out the holes was huge! Ideally i'd like to have a restrictor at the end of the spray bar, so i could have some water coming out the holes, and some out the end which would allow me to disturb the surface of the water a bit too. Any ideas?!

Do you know what size tube it is for? TBH, i am confused as to the size of plug i need! haha. Eheim now just sell packs of 3 - the 3 different sizes! Something tells me i am not the only one who does not know Its 16/22mm tubing, and this fits inside the tube...

hmm, unless you have large fingers, i think they are going to be too small

Thanks very much for looking though, and photographing

I have a eheim 2213 with 12/16mm tubing.
The plug is slightly too small for that, and for my spray bar.

I think it would fit if superglued the top "mushrooms" shape bit, the actual screw piece doesn't 'plug' a 12/16 tube.

The pic is upside down, it rests nicely on the tube and if glued would block it i think
