Gentlemen, help out. The problem with the boiler.

It happened to me ... a problem. My favorite 100 liter boiler is a little broken. You could say - very lucky. Turn off the water, Boiler Gorenje tgr100. In short.
Half a year ago, he replaced the magnesium anode, but it seems he bought a fake. The anode is attached to the bottom, the thread of the M8 stud. In general - a hole in the bottom of the tank under the M8. But in order to crawl there, you need to pull out the ten and climb inside with a children's hand, the hole from the ten does not allow.
So, I noticed that after turning on the water, the boiler began to drip. removed the temperature controller - and water drips from the stud. I thought that an air valve was dripping at the top, as it already was. He touched the anode stud - barely holding on. still stirred - and kaaak banged - a fountain for the whole bath. Slap all the remnants of the anode. Well, they immediately blocked the water, while I plugged a hole with my finger.

Question. how can I close the hole without getting into the tank?
Do not offer the option "hammer a wooden chopik". Maybe there’s some thing like a moth?

yes from him one hairpin remained. in fact, it flew out of the hole =) It was lucky that it was not at night. Otherwise, the khan of the washing machine would have dreamed. the boiler is directly above it. Still would have flooded the cellar.
The anode is strewed. Therefore, the location of its installation is amazing. It's amazing how he still unscrewed.
I also jammed the holes as suggested above - a cork, or a piece of hose (if the hole is small in diameter), two washers, a bolt, a nut.It bursts when tightened very tightly, and requires access on one side only ....
A chopik is also, by the way, an option. There was an accident at the plant, I chopped a dry one from an apple tree into a 32-pipe pipe. So they forgot it ... For four years I kept the tap pressure, while they remembered and put the tezba and the tap.))))
You can also try epoxy, but how will it react to heating?

Epoxy reacts normally to heating))). It "reacts poorly" if it is glued to the metal, and then the temperatures change! They have painfully different KTR. So, if an epoxy - then only with strong reinforcement with sawdust of the same metal ...

And the anode that I set up - a campaign in the garage, homeless people from aluminum cans were cast.
Really crumbled into dust. PS I am in the private sector, supply and trunk - plastic. So there is no point in thinking about rewinding that it’s possible that some kind of hedgehog could sprinkle.
Author
Okay, I’ll go cast a silver bullet =)
I do not have aspen
Then the magic will not work! smile

I don’t have aspen. only blush, linden, alder, beech, oak, nut, cherry, apricot, apple tree, ash, maple, poplar, pine, pear ....
hammer a birch stake there
Out of my ear I heard about the magical properties of an aspen stake! smile
Better aspen!

more and more I’m thinking about driving a birch stake there

not. it will turn out a water grenade. I do not need 100 liters of warm water on the washer =)))
From the bucket while washing read
I thought drunk. If temporarily, then of course welding is not necessary.

M14 is the cork found diameter
You can take the anchor, saw it off in length. Tape fum tape and tighten.
Or bolt M8 with fum tape and tighten on the outside. The thread will cut into fume.
Epoxy comes across recently, it soaks from water.
Author
a little more than the M8, on the other hand I can’t crawl. there is no thread.
I usually do not warm more than 65, at the bottom even less. in the region of 30-35
What diameter hole should be plugged?
The key head will crawl if you tighten the bolt, is there a thread, a standard step?
What is the maximum water temperature?
14mm - bullshit, look for a cork. For example, from a pharmacy bottle.
Withstand and remove without consequences.
"Welding" (it is also an epoxy with filler) is less plastic and loyal to temperature, and then you can’t scrape off the tracks.
Author
Foolish execution - more than agree. But welding is not a hunt to gloss over, I'm waiting for a new anode.
And you need to wash it like that. at least chop chop =)

The boiler is in fact a closed tank. With the pucks it's cool. you should try to screw the transport screw from the washer. Not. the diameter is too large. there already M14
Looked at the device, rather strange. Typically, the anode is located on the nut where the ten is installed. Honestly, at first I changed it, then stopped. You can install the cork, but drill this through hole, but try to get outside. I would recommend cold welding. On cold welding in my place, the heating pipe is standing. Flowed in the winter, well, and "temporarily", already about five years, I smeared it with cold welding. It seems to have smeared with “diamond”, but it has smeared on wet, in several layers. And here, I drained the water, dried it, and put it on. You can also try epoxy, but how will it react to heating?
We take a rubber stopper exactly in the diameter of the hole. We drill a hole in the center to insert a bolt (for example, m8. We put washers on both sides, slightly less than the diameter of the cork. We get a bolt-washer-cork-washer-nut.Insert the nut outward into the hole and tighten the nut. The plug bursts and the hole closes. But I can’t say what pressure she can withstand. If the container is open (there is no additional pressure) everything should withstand.
