Oatey 270016 Pneumatic Pipe Plug 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 in 13 Psi

Product Description

The OATEY 270016 is a pneumatic pipe plug designed for pressure testing drain, waste, and vent piping systems. The plug inflates to create an airtight seal inside the pipe, allowing technicians to pressurize a section of pipe and verify leak-free joints before backfill or closeout. It fits pipe with an internal diameter ranging from 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches and holds a working pressure of 13 psi. The body is constructed from natural rubber, which provides flexibility and consistent seating across a range of pipe materials and internal surface conditions. Plumbers and pipefitters use this tool during rough-in inspections and final testing.

This pneumatic plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where code requires a pressure or air test of the DWV system prior to inspection sign-off. It is inserted into the open end or a cleanout of a 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inch pipe, inflated with a hand pump or air source, and used to isolate a section of the system for testing. The domestic designation indicates it is manufactured in the United States.

Key Features

• Fits pipe internal diameters from 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches
• 13 psi working pressure rating for air and water pressure testing
• Natural rubber construction for flexible, reliable sealing against pipe walls
• Pneumatic inflation allows fast, tool-free installation and removal
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pneumatic test plug for use in 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inch drain, waste, and vent piping systems constructed of PVC, ABS, cast iron, or copper.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers during pressure testing of DWV systems, typically in compliance with IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Before inflating the plug, confirm the pipe section is clear of debris that could damage the rubber bladder. Do not exceed the 13 psi working pressure rating during testing. Deflate completely before attempting to remove the plug from the pipe.
