Description
The CPVC Plug is an essential and versatile fitting for sealing off openings in a CPVC piping system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this plug is expertly engineered to screw directly into a female threaded fitting, such as a tee, an elbow, or a valve. It provides a reliable and leak-proof seal, which is crucial for both system maintenance and temporary closure during construction.
Uses:
-
Sealing a Threaded Outlet: The primary use of a CPVC plug is to seal a female threaded opening. This is a common practice for capping off a line that is not yet connected to a fixture or for future expansion.
-
Temporary Closure: Plugs are widely used during construction or renovation projects to temporarily seal off a line. This prevents debris from entering the pipe and keeps the system clean and ready for future use.
-
Pressure Testing: Plugs are a crucial component for pressure testing a newly installed plumbing system. By sealing off all outlets, plumbers can fill the system with water and check for leaks before the walls are sealed.
Advantages:
-
Secure and Leak-Proof Seal: When properly installed with a pipe thread sealant, the plug creates a tight, reliable connection that is resistant to leaks and can withstand high pressure.
-
High Durability and Longevity: As a CPVC fitting, it is completely resistant to rust, corrosion, and the chemicals found in water supplies. This robust construction ensures a long service life and high reliability.
-
High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, it is designed to handle hot and cold water applications, withstanding temperatures up to 200?F (93?C) and maintaining durability under a wide range of operating pressures.
-
Simple and Quick Installation: The plug’s simple screw-in design makes it very easy to install and remove, which is a major advantage for both temporary and permanent applications.
