The barbed end seats into 3\/4 inch PEX pipe and is secured using cinch clamps with a cinch tool or copper crimp rings with a crimp tool. Once installed, the line is immediately testable to well over 100 psi, making it a reliable choice for pre-commissioning leak checks on potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting during rough-in inspection stages before walls are closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where PEX tubing is used for potable water distribution. It is compatible with 3\/4 inch PEX pipe secured with TV 608-826 cinch clamps and TV 608-743 cinch tool, or standard copper crimp rings and crimp tool. The lead free brass construction meets low-lead requirements enforced in California and Vermont, making it appropriate for use across jurisdictions with strict lead content regulations. Sold in a package of 12 units.\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 wetted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImmediately pressure testable to well over 100 psi after installation\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 F 1807 for potable water transport products\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with ANSI\/NSF Standard 61 Annex G for lead free requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets AB1953 California and VT S152 Vermont low lead restrictions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/4 inch cross-linked polyethylene PEX tubing.
