Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe Foundry Co. PVC 02113 1600HA is a Schedule 40 PVC male iron pipe (MIP) pressure plug designed to cap or close off a female-threaded pipe fitting. This plug is rated for pressure applications and is manufactured from Schedule 40 PVC, offering solid resistance to corrosion and common chemical exposure in potable water and drain systems. At 2 inches, it fits standard 2-inch female NPT fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during system testing, permanent closures, or when capping unused branch outlets. The unit weight is 4.71 pounds per package of 10 pieces.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a threaded male end is needed to seal a 2-inch female NPT port. Common applications include capping branch tees, pressure testing supply lines, and permanently closing off unused fixture connections in cold and hot water distribution systems where PVC is code-permitted. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 units per order.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and isolate the affected pipe section before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before hand-tightening, then snug with strap wrench or pipe wrench — avoid over-torquing PVC threads, as this can crack the fitting. Verify system pressure rating does not exceed the Schedule 40 PVC fitting rating for the installation temperature.
