If you are screwing it on then try a plastic bag or tin foil. They both work.

Well yes it needs to be sch 80 or metal but if it is use about 10 layers of tin foil, a circle of plastic from a milk jug or soda bottle, thick paper or whatever else is bendable and kinda strong.

And to keep it on topic cut out a milk bottle and use that for a burst disk.

It all depends on the surface area of the burst material exposed to the pressure. What size union are you using?
