Welding exhaust bung in pipe help.

I use 18mm nuts as bungs.

Shape the nut to the curve of the pipe.

Sand off/grind the metal clean on the pipe.

Hose-clamp the nut to the pipe, and tack weld.

Remove hose-clamp, complete welds.

Test for leaks by adding water to the bung hole.

When there isn't any leaks, I drill out the hole in the pipe.

I think they make a special rubber bag tool for that. :D
