Plug leaking (spraying!) pressure switch on Raypak 407a

[undrwater]

Discovered water leaking from the bottom of the heater today. I thought it might be the heat exchange, but upon pulling a panel, it turns out it's the pressure switch.

I've ordered another, but it's going to take a while. Has anyone plugged the hole left by the switch? If so, what can I use to plug it until the switch arrives?

I won't be using the heater until the new switch is in.

Thanks all!

1/4" plastic (nylon) pipe plug. Best if you don't get a metal one.

I'm glad I have a Mcmaster Carr nearby. No one else seems to have it available any sooner than the pressure switch will arrive.
