The plug inserts in its unexpanded state at 1.420 inches and expands to a seating diameter of 1.889 inches, creating a positive mechanical seal within the pipe bore. It is rated to a maximum working pressure of 9 psi. The stem diameter measures 1\/2 inch for use with standard expansion tools. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of plug during hydrostatic testing, winterization, or when capping inactive lines in both residential and commercial piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis expansion plug is suited for use in aluminum, PVC, cast iron, and steel pipe where the bore diameter falls within the plug's expansion range. Typical applications include drain, waste, and vent system testing, temporary shutoff during repairs, and end-capping during staged construction. Its aluminum construction makes it appropriate for corrosive or wet environments where ferrous plugs are not preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpands from 1.420 inches to 1.889 inches for a tight mechanical seal in matching pipe bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 9 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch stem diameter is compatible with standard expansion wrenches and drive tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy handling in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in pipe applications where the internal bore diameter falls within the unexpanded-to-expanded range of 1.420 to 1.889 inches.

Isolate and depressurize the line before inserting the plug. Do not exceed the 9 psi maximum pressure rating during testing. Follow applicable plumbing codes, including IPC and local jurisdiction requirements, for pressure test procedures and allowable test durations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpanded Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.889 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnexpanded Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.420 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AP01.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711359877426,"sku":"AP01.50","price":53.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2bcd5cf023a7200654909771b554039f.jpg?v=1788475975","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-ap01-50-aluminum-expansion-plug","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
