Oatey 271713 Pneumatic Pipe Plug 3 Inch 13 Psi

Product Description

The OATEY 271713 is a pneumatic pipe plug designed to temporarily seal and isolate 3-inch pipe during plumbing inspection, pressure testing, or repair work. The plug inflates to create a reliable internal seal rated for 13 psi working pressure. Constructed from natural rubber, it conforms to the interior wall of the pipe to deliver a consistent, leak-resistant barrier. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of plug when isolating sections of drain, waste, and vent lines for hydrostatic or air pressure testing in compliance with local plumbing codes.

This pneumatic plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 3-inch nominal pipe must be sealed temporarily. Typical install scenarios include new construction rough-in testing, sewer line inspection preparation, and lateral isolation during repair. The inflatable design allows quick installation and removal without damaging the pipe interior.

Key Features

• Fits 3-inch nominal pipe for a secure internal seal
• 13 psi working pressure rating supports standard plumbing pressure tests
• Natural rubber construction conforms to pipe walls for consistent sealing
• Pneumatic inflation allows fast, tool-minimal installation and removal
• Reusable design suited for repeated testing applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in 3-inch nominal drain, waste, and vent piping systems as an OEM-style pneumatic test plug.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines for pressure testing. Before inflating, confirm the pipe section is clear of debris and that all downstream connections are secure. Do not exceed the rated 13 psi working pressure during inflation. Deflate completely before removing the plug from the line.
