Ideal uses and scenarios
Use this double-ended threaded plug to cap off or isolate sections of 1-1/4" PVC piping in pressure systems, irrigation runs, or testing setups. It’s a practical choice when you need a secure, removable seal that withstands repeated pressures without compromising flow or integrity. The lead-free, NSF-listed construction makes it appropriate for potable water lines, while the Schedule 80 design provides added durability in service environments where tougher walls are beneficial.
Installation tips
- Clean the threads on both mating fittings before installation.
- Apply a PVC-safe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads to promote a tight, leak-free seal (follow sealant manufacturer guidelines).
- Thread ends by hand to seat evenly, then snug with a wrench to the manufacturer’s guidelines—avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the threads or plug.
- Verify system pressure remains within the 520 psi rating and perform a leak test after installation.
