The plug starts at an unexpanded diameter of 1.889 inches and expands to 2.440 inches, accommodating standard pipe inside diameters in that range. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 9 psi and features a 1\/2-inch stem diameter for tightening. This fitting is handled by plumbers and pipefitters during pressure testing, pipe isolation, or temporary shutoff operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis expansion plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a temporary or semi-permanent seal is needed in a metal pipe run. It is appropriate for use in drainage, waste, and vent lines as well as low-pressure supply-side test scenarios. The 1\/2-inch stem accepts a standard wrench for controlled expansion. Its aluminum construction keeps weight low at 0.5 pounds while providing adequate corrosion resistance for most plumbing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpands from 1.889 inches to 2.440 inches to seat firmly inside the pipe bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 9 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch stem diameter for wrench tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum construction — lightweight and corrosion resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy single-hand placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style mechanical expansion plug for aluminum or compatible metal pipe with an inside diameter in the 1.889-inch to 2.440-inch range, typical of standard nominal pipe sizing in plumbing and HVAC drain systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Isolate the pipe section and relieve all system pressure before inserting the plug. Use an appropriate wrench on the 1\/2-inch stem to expand the plug until it seats firmly against the pipe wall — do not overtighten beyond hand-snug plus the turns needed to achieve a seal. Confirm the system is depressurized before removing the plug after testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpanded Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.440 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnexpanded Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.889 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 Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: AP02.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693292060978,"sku":"AP02.00","price":54.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4a47e4b9b74ece4eef3987e40c9011a1.jpg?v=1788310241","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-ap02-00-aluminum-expansion-plug-9-psi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
