Value Collection 1401-012 Insert Tee Plug 1-1/4 in Pvc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1401-012 is a male barbed tube insert tee plug designed to cap or terminate a tee fitting in a fluid-handling or pneumatic line. Made from PVC (polyvinylchloride), this plug accepts a 1-1/4 inch barb and is used to seal off an open tee port without disassembling the run line. The male barb configuration bites into the interior of a compatible tube or hose, creating a secure, leak-resistant seal. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with PVC tubing systems install this type of insert plug when a branch port on a tee is unused or needs to be temporarily or permanently closed.

This insert tee plug is suited for low-pressure fluid and air distribution systems where PVC tubing is the standard material. Typical applications include irrigation lines, pool and spa plumbing, HVAC condensate drain systems, and general industrial fluid handling. The barbed insert design eliminates the need for adhesive or threaded connections at the plug point, making installation straightforward in confined spaces or field-service situations.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch barb size fits standard PVC tubing with a matching interior diameter
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with water, mild chemicals, and common HVAC condensate fluids
• Male barb configuration locks into the tube end for a secure, pull-resistant fit

• Lightweight at 0.16 pounds, easy to carry and stock in a service van or parts kit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service part for PVC barbed tee fittings with a 1-1/4 inch port opening in residential and commercial fluid-handling or plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified maintenance technician should install this plug. Before installation, shut off flow to the affected line and relieve any residual pressure. Push the male barb firmly and squarely into the open tee port until the barb seats fully against the tube wall. Inspect the connection for proper seating before restoring flow; do not overtighten or apply torque that could crack the PVC fitting or tubing.
