Caplugs 14236 Mechanical Pipe Plug 2.5 Inches

Product Description

The CAPLUGS 14236 is a mechanical pipe plug designed to seal open-ended pipes during storage, shipping, and system service. This fitting-style plug installs directly into the open end of a pipe to prevent contamination, debris ingress, and fluid leakage. Sized for 2.5-inch pipe, it is a standard tool in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical system work. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians keep these plugs on hand for temporary and permanent pipe end closures. Each unit weighs approximately 0.01 pounds, making it lightweight and easy to carry in bulk on any job site.

The 14236 plug is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems wherever open pipe ends require a secure, temporary, or permanent seal. Typical applications include capping pipe stubs during rough-in work, protecting pipe ends on stored materials, and isolating sections of a plumbing or mechanical system during service. The plug fits 2.5-inch pipe and is appropriate for use in pipe fitting and coupling applications across a range of system types.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers and pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.

Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of burrs or debris before seating the plug to achieve a proper seal.
