Oatey 238-702 Knockout Test Cap 2 Inches Pvc

Product Description

The OATEY 238-702 is a 2-inch PVC knockout test cap designed for pressure and leak testing of drain, waste, and vent (DWV) pipe systems. The knockout center allows the cap to be installed before final system testing and then punched out for permanent service once the test is complete. This eliminates the need to remove the cap entirely after testing, saving time on rough-in inspections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting during new construction and remodel work to isolate pipe sections and verify system integrity before walls are closed.

This test cap is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It fits 2-inch PVC DWV pipe and is commonly used at cleanout openings, stub-outs, and branch terminations where a temporary seal is needed during pressure or air testing. The knockout design makes it a practical choice for inspections that require a sealed system before final rough-in approval.

Key Features

• 2-inch size fits standard PVC DWV pipe and fittings
• Knockout center allows permanent installation without cap removal after testing
• PVC construction provides chemical resistance suitable for drain and waste systems
• Supports air and water pressure testing of DWV piping sections
• Streamlines rough-in inspection workflow on new and remodel projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 2-inch PVC DWV plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Solvent-weld the cap to the pipe end using approved PVC primer and cement before conducting system pressure tests. Ensure the system is depressurized before knocking out the center plug for final service. Follow all local inspection requirements for DWV test pressure limits and hold times.
