Value Collection 68000 Thumbnut Pressure Test Plug

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 68000 is a thumbnut-style pressure test plug designed to temporarily seal pipe openings during pressure testing procedures. The plug seats into a 0.25 inch OD port and measures 0.5 inch in length, making it compact enough for tight access areas. A thumbnut drive allows hand-tightening without specialized tools, which speeds up setup and removal during leak checks and pressure integrity tests. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this plug when pressure-testing water, gas, or pneumatic lines prior to system commissioning or inspection.

This pressure test plug is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing and piping systems where small-diameter test ports are common. Its compact 0.25 inch OD fits standard test port openings, and the hand-operable thumbnut design makes it practical for repeated use across multiple test points in a single service call. It is well suited for drain, waste, and vent testing as well as supply-side pressure checks where a removable, reusable plug is preferred over a permanent cap.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental pressure test plug for 0.25 inch OD test port applications in plumbing and piping systems.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitter typically installs pressure test plugs as part of a code-required pressure or leak test. Depressurize and isolate the line segment before inserting or removing the plug. Hand-tighten the thumbnut only until snug — do not apply additional torque with tools, as overtightening can damage the plug or test port. Follow local plumbing codes and the applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for test pressure limits and duration.
