Caplugs 14200 Mechanical Pipe Plug 5/16 Inch

Product Description

The CAPLUGS 14200 is a mechanical pipe plug designed to seal open-ended pipes during storage, shipping, or system work. It fits 5/16-inch pipe ends and creates a secure closure that prevents debris, moisture, and contaminants from entering the pipe bore. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors reach for plugs like this during rough-in, pressure testing, and equipment staging. The plug is sold in a package quantity of 100 units, making it practical for job-site use where multiple open ends need to be capped at once.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical applications. It is commonly used during pipe fabrication, system assembly, and pre-installation staging to keep pipe ends clean and protected. The 5/16-inch sizing makes it appropriate for small-diameter tubing and pipe common in plumbing, refrigeration line work, and instrumentation runs where open ends must be temporarily or permanently sealed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter as part of system rough-in or pressure isolation work. Shut off all flow and depressurize the line before inserting or removing pipe plugs. Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of burrs before seating the plug to achieve a proper seal. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements when using plugs for pressure-test isolation.
