Value Collection 449-012 Pvc Pipe Plug 1-1/4 in Schedule 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 449-012 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe plug used to seal the open end of a pipe or fitting in a plumbing system. Molded from PVC, it accepts a spigot-end connection and is sized for 1-1/4-inch pipe. Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it suitable for standard-pressure potable water, irrigation, and drain applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this plug to cap off unused branch lines, test sections of pipe for pressure integrity, or permanently close off an open port in a PVC system.

This plug is intended for use in residential and light commercial PVC piping systems. Typical applications include capping unused tee branches, closing off stub-outs during rough-in, and pressure-testing drain or supply lines. The spigot end inserts directly into a socket-end fitting, making installation straightforward without special tooling. It is suited for cold and ambient-temperature water service lines, irrigation laterals, and low-pressure drain or vent systems where PVC Schedule 40 material is the specified pipe standard.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction rated for standard-pressure plumbing and irrigation service
• Spigot end connection inserts into any standard Schedule 40 socket fitting
• 1-1/4-inch fitting size for common residential and light commercial pipe runs
• Lightweight at 0.35 pounds, reducing handling fatigue on repetitive installs
• Compatible with standard PVC solvent cement for a permanent, leak-free seal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for use in standard Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using spigot-to-socket solvent-welded connections sized at 1-1/4 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Before installing, shut off water supply and relieve system pressure completely. Clean and deburr the pipe end, apply a compatible PVC primer, then apply PVC solvent cement to both the spigot end and the receiving socket before joining. Do not apply heat or force to PVC fittings during assembly, as this can compromise the joint integrity.
