Oatey 271705 Pneumatic Pipe Plug 2 Inch 13 Psi

Product Description

The OATEY 271705 is a pneumatic pipe plug designed to temporarily seal and isolate 2-inch pipe sections during plumbing inspection, repair, or testing procedures. The plug inflates with air pressure to create a secure, leak-resistant seal inside the pipe bore, holding up to 13 psi. Constructed from natural rubber, the bladder conforms to the interior pipe wall for a reliable fit. Licensed plumbers and pipe inspectors use this type of plug when pressure-testing drain, waste, and vent systems or isolating a section of line for service work without full system shutdown.

This pneumatic plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 2-inch pipe line must be temporarily blocked. Typical use cases include DWV system testing per local plumbing code, spot repairs requiring flow isolation, and pre-inspection sealing of stub-outs or lateral connections. The natural rubber construction is compatible with common drain and vent pipe materials including PVC, ABS, and cast iron.

Key Features

• Inflatable pneumatic design seals pipe from the interior without external clamps or fittings
• Rated to 13 psi inflation pressure for positive pipe isolation
• Natural rubber bladder conforms to pipe wall for consistent sealing contact
• Sized for 2-inch nominal pipe inside diameter
• Reusable construction for repeated test and repair applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pneumatic test plug for 2-inch nominal diameter drain, waste, and vent pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with pipe pressure-testing procedures. Before inserting the plug, confirm the pipe interior is clear of debris that could damage the rubber bladder. Inflate only to the rated pressure and never exceed the 13 psi maximum. Depressurize the plug fully before attempting removal to avoid sudden release of trapped line pressure.
