Value Collection 15462 Pvc Hex Plug 1 in Sch 80 Mipt 5-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 15462 is a 1-inch Schedule 80 PVC hex plug used to cap off threaded pipe ends in pressurized and non-pressurized piping systems. The male iron pipe thread (MIPT) connection screws directly into a female-threaded fitting or port, creating a secure, leak-resistant seal. Schedule 80 wall thickness gives the plug greater pressure rating and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40. Sold in a pack of 5, this plug is a standard consumable for plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors who need reliable thread closures on PVC systems during installation, testing, or long-term service.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical distribution, and industrial fluid-handling applications where PVC is the specified pipe material. The hex head design allows installation and removal with a standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench, making it practical for pressure testing where plugs are installed temporarily and then pulled after line verification. Appropriate for both dry and wet systems within the pressure and temperature limits of Schedule 80 PVC.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure tolerance versus Schedule 40 fittings
• 1-inch MIPT end connection threads directly into female NPT ports
• Hex head profile accepts standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench
• PVC material resists corrosion, chemicals, and moisture
• Pack of 5 for stocking or multi-point installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for 1-inch female NPT threaded PVC piping systems built to Schedule 80 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers and pipefitters working on PVC threaded systems. Depressurize and isolate the line before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply thread sealant tape or liquid thread compound rated for PVC to the male threads before engagement to ensure a leak-free seal. Do not overtighten — PVC threads can crack under excessive torque; hand-tight plus one to two turns with a wrench is the general practice for PVC threaded fittings.
