Value Collection 450-012 Pvc Pipe Plug 1-1/4 in Mipt Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 450-012 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe plug designed to seal threaded pipe openings in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. Sized at 1-1/4 inches with male iron pipe thread (MIPT) end connections, this plug threads directly into a female-threaded fitting or pipe end to close off the line. PVC construction offers resistance to corrosion and common chemicals, making it well suited for water distribution, irrigation, and low-pressure drain systems. Plumbers and pipefitters use plugs like this for pressure testing, capping unused branch lines, or permanently closing off a run. The part weighs 0.29 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This plug is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings are specified. Common applications include capping unused tee or cross branch outlets, isolating sections of a system during testing, and sealing decommissioned lines. It is compatible with standard 1-1/4-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) fittings and Schedule 40 PVC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIPT threads before hand-tightening, then snug with a pipe wrench — do not overtighten PVC threads, as cracking can occur. Verify the system holds pressure before returning it to service.
