Each plug seats into the barb end of a PEX fitting, sealing the line so the system can be pressurized and tested immediately after installation. Rated well above 100 psi, this plug gives plumbers a reliable way to verify system integrity before finishing a rough-in. The lead-free brass construction meets strict potable water standards, and the wetted surfaces contain less than 0.25% lead by weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications wherever 1\/2-inch PEX tubing is used, including supply lines, manifold systems, and hydronic distribution. To secure the barb end to the PEX pipe, the plug can be used with cinch clamps and a cinch tool or with copper crimp rings and a crimp tool. Clamps, rings, and tools are sold separately. The plug is immediately testable once installed, making it practical for rough-in inspections and pressure-verification workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction with less than 0.25% lead by weight on all wetted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for immediate pressure testing well above 100 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with cinch clamp or copper crimp ring installation methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NSF\/ANSI Standard 14-2009 and ASTM F1807 for potable water transport products\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI\/NSF Standard 61 Annex G for lead-free compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplies with California AB 1953 and Vermont VT S152 low-lead restrictions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-pack format reduces trips to the supply house on larger jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2-inch cross-linked polyethylene PEX tubing.
