You could use the same bung you use for an airlock with 3/8" tubing. IIRC.
For me, that was good way to paint the ceiling with krausen...
Wait what? How the hell else am I supposed to put a blowoff on my bucket??
I normally have enough headspace in a bucket that 3/8" tube works fine or even that is unneeded. Besides, most lids will pop the seal from the pressure before ejecting the tubing.Wait what? How the hell else am I supposed to put a blowoff on my bucket??

On a 5 gallon carboy with 5 gallons of wort in it and active primary fermentation you will often clog the tube within and hour or two the krausen starting to rise. On those, the best is a tubing the same diameter as the neck and large bucket for the overflow.
Yes, I know from experience. I have painted the ceiling and I have popped the seal on more than one lid.
Just crack the lid and set it on a towel. You airlock won't do anything but when (in the case of S-04) the krausen starts slamming into the lid it will take the path of least resistance and dribble down the side onto the towel.I've currently got 6.9 gallons of 1.105 wort with S04 in it in a 7.9 gallon bucket. 1 gallon headspace with that yeast has me a bit worried.
