The CAPLUGS 14222 is a mechanical plug designed to seal open-ended pipes during storage, shipping, or installation. It provides a secure, friction-fit closure that keeps contaminants, debris, and moisture out of pipe openings. Sized for 1-5/16-inch pipe, it is a straightforward solution used across plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical trades wherever temporary or permanent pipe-end protection is needed. Sold in packages of 25 units, the 14222 is well-suited for job sites and shops that require multiple plugs on hand.

This plug is commonly used during rough-in plumbing work, pipe fabrication, and equipment storage to protect open pipe ends from contamination.
