Value Collection 450-010 Pvc Pipe Plug 1 in Sch 40 Mipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 450-010 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe plug with a 1-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) end connection. It is used to seal and cap off threaded pipe ends in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from PVC, this plug offers solid resistance to corrosion and common chemicals, making it a practical choice for cold and mildly warm water lines, irrigation systems, and low-pressure fluid applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when blanking off unused branch outlets or temporarily or permanently closing threaded pipe ends during system assembly or testing.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving Schedule 40 PVC piping. Common install scenarios include capping unused tee or cross outlets, sealing test points during pressure checks, and closing off threaded pipe stubs in irrigation manifolds, drain lines, and water distribution systems. The 1-inch size fits standard 1-inch NPT female-threaded fittings and pipe ends.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on PVC piping systems. Depressurize and drain the system before removing or installing any threaded plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIPT threads before tightening to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten PVC fittings, as this can crack the fitting body or the mating pipe thread.
