Value Collection 51027 Snap Tite Pressure Test Plug 3 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 51027 is a snap-style pressure test plug used to temporarily seal pipe openings during pressure testing of plumbing, HVAC, and piping systems. The plug features a 3-inch outer diameter and measures 1-3/16 inches in length. Its snap-tite design allows for fast, tool-free insertion and removal, making it well suited for leak-down tests, hydrostatic pressure checks, and pneumatic line testing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically keep these plugs on hand for rough-in inspections and pressure verification work before system commissioning.

This pressure test plug is sized for 3-inch pipe openings and is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. It is commonly used during drain, waste, and vent pressure tests as well as in HVAC condensate and refrigerant line staging. The snap-tite retention style provides a secure fit without requiring threads or additional hardware, which speeds up the test setup process on active job sites.
