Value Collection 1449-015 Barbed Tube Plug Pvc Male

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1449-015 is a male barbed tube plug designed to cap off open-ended tubing in fluid-handling systems. The barbed fitting locks into the tubing bore and holds without threading, creating a secure termination point. Constructed from PVC, it resists corrosion and handles common water-based, chemical, and pool-service fluids. The 1.5-inch barb size suits standard tubing with a matching inside diameter. Plumbers, pool technicians, and irrigation installers use this plug to decommission unused ports, isolate system branches, or temporarily cap lines during service work.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa systems, irrigation distribution lines, and general fluid-transfer assemblies where a non-threaded, barbed termination is preferred. It is installed by hand or with light tool assist, pressing the barbed shank into compatible flexible tubing until the barb seats fully and resists pull-out. It is a single-use consumable in most service scenarios and should be confirmed against the tubing wall thickness and durometer before installation in pressure-rated lines.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch barb size fits standard tubing with matching inside diameter
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance in water-based and chemical service environments
• Male barbed configuration inserts directly into flexible tubing without threads or adhesive
• Lightweight at 0.07 pounds, reducing handling fatigue during high-volume service work
• Single-piece molded design with no moving parts or seals to replace

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service-stock fitting for flexible tubing assemblies requiring a 1.5-inch male barbed plug termination in PVC-compatible plumbing, pool, spa, and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pool technicians, or irrigation professionals. Depressurize and drain the line fully before inserting the plug to prevent hydraulic resistance from obstructing full barb engagement. Press the barbed shank firmly into the tubing bore until the barb shoulder is fully seated and the tubing does not pull back under light tension. Verify the plug is rated for the line pressure and fluid type before returning the system to service.
