When inserted and expanded, the plug creates a secure, leak-resistant seal rated to 9 psi maximum working pressure. The unexpanded diameter measures 3.779 inches, expanding to a final seated diameter of 4.113 inches. The 1\/2-inch stem diameter allows for straightforward installation and removal using standard hand tools. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of plug during hydrostatic testing and temporary pipe closure applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis expansion plug is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and general mechanical systems where a removable, temporary or semi-permanent pipe seal is required. The aluminum construction makes it appropriate for use in moderate-pressure, non-corrosive environments. It is sold individually and is well suited for jobsite and shop use where single-unit quantities are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpanded diameter of 4.113 inches provides a firm fit in standard pipe ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnexpanded diameter of 3.779 inches for easy insertion before seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum working pressure of 9 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch stem diameter for tool-driven installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum construction offers lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance in compatible environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit with no minimum order quantity requirement beyond one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use expansion plug for pipe ends with an internal diameter in the range of 3.779 to 4.113 inches, typical of standard large-diameter pipe in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by plumbers or pipefitters as part of pressure testing or pipe-end sealing procedures. Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of debris before inserting the plug. Use appropriate hand or drive tools on the stem to expand the plug to its seated diameter. Do not exceed the 9 psi maximum rated pressure when using this plug during any pressure test or service application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpanded Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.113 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnexpanded Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.779 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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.78 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20122006\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: AP04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690493477170,"sku":"AP04","price":82.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ff738c95718ac19eeee1b5151916cfb2.jpg?v=1788270499","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-ap04-aluminum-expansion-plug","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
