Product Description
The OATEY 270-210 is a 1.5-inch end-of-pipe gripper plug designed for sealing the open end of a pipe during pressure testing procedures. The end-of-pipe design creates a seal exclusively at the pipe opening rather than internally, making it well suited for DWV (drain, waste, and vent) testing and stack testing applications. Constructed from metal with a yellow finish for easy visual identification, this plug holds up to a maximum back pressure of 17 psi, equivalent to a 40-foot water column. Plumbing professionals and inspection crews use this plug when verifying system integrity before a system is placed into service.
This gripper plug is used in residential and commercial plumbing applications wherever DWV piping systems require air or water pressure testing. It fits nominal 1.5-inch pipe ends and is appropriate for stack testing scenarios where a reliable, end-of-pipe seal is required. Its compact size and metal construction make it a practical addition to a plumber's test kit for rough-in inspections and code compliance verification.
Key Features
- End-of-pipe design seals at the pipe opening for DWV and stack testing
- Rated for maximum back pressure of 17 psi (40-foot water column)
- Nominal size of 1.5 inches for standard pipe fitment
- Metal construction for durability under test pressure
- Yellow finish for quick visual identification on the job site
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use plug for nominal 1.5-inch pipe ends in residential and commercial DWV plumbing systems.
Installation Notes
Installation is performed by licensed plumbers during rough-in or pre-inspection pressure testing. Before applying test pressure, ensure all connected system components are rated to withstand the test load and that the pipe end is clean and free of debris. Do not exceed the rated maximum back pressure of 17 psi. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for required test duration and acceptable pressure loss thresholds.
