Midland Industries 20013 1/2 in Push-to-connect Plastic Plug

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20013 is a plastic push-to-connect plug designed to cap off 1/2-inch push-to-connect fittings quickly and securely. This end-cap style fitting seats without tools, making it a practical solution for capping open ports on pneumatic and fluid lines during service, testing, or staged installations. The plug is rated for a temperature range of -10 to 200 degrees F, making it suitable for a broad range of applications in HVAC, plumbing, and compressed-air systems. At 0.005 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-use or temporary-cap component that plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters keep on hand as a standard consumable.

This fitting is used wherever a 1/2-inch push-to-connect port needs to be temporarily or permanently capped. Common install scenarios include capping unused manifold ports, sealing off branch lines during phased construction, and isolating sections of tubing during pressure testing. The 20013 is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where push-to-connect plumbing or pneumatic systems are in use. Its plastic construction keeps weight minimal and avoids corrosion in environments where moisture contact is likely.

Installation Notes

Installation of push-to-connect fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines. Before inserting the plug, relieve all system pressure and shut off the fluid or air supply to the line being capped. Ensure the tubing or port end is clean, cut square, and free of burrs before seating the plug. Do not exceed the rated temperature range of -10 to 200 degrees F during operation.
