Value Collection 450-015 Pvc Pipe Plug 1.5 in Sch 40 Mipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 450-015 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe plug with male iron pipe thread (MIPT) end connections sized at 1-1/2 inches. It is used to seal the open end of a threaded pipe or fitting, effectively closing off a line during pressure testing, system isolation, or permanent termination. PVC construction makes it appropriate for cold and ambient-temperature water supply, drain, waste, vent, and chemical distribution piping where metal plugs are not required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting by hand or with a strap wrench on PVC-compatible systems.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where Schedule 40 PVC pipe is the system standard. Typical applications include capping unused branch outlets, temporarily isolating a run during rough-in, or permanently closing a test port after system commissioning. It is also used in pool and spa plumbing, irrigation manifolds, and low-pressure process lines where a threaded PVC closure is needed.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard residential and commercial PVC pipe systems
• MIPT end connection threads into any standard female-threaded PVC or compatible fitting
• 1-1/2 inch size fits the most common branch and drain line dimensions
• PVC material resists corrosion, scale, and many common chemicals
• Lightweight at 0.36 pounds, reducing handling fatigue during high-volume rough-in work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for Schedule 40 PVC threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch MIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working on PVC pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the MIPT threads before making up the joint; do not overtighten PVC fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes, which typically reference the IPC or UPC for materials and joint standards.
