Value Collection AP10.00 Aluminum Pipe Expansion Plug

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION AP10.00 is an aluminum expansion plug designed to seal or pressure-test pipe openings in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. The plug expands mechanically to create a secure fit inside the pipe bore, providing a reliable temporary or permanent stop at a maximum rated pressure of 9 psi. With an unexpanded diameter of 9.527 inches expanding to 10.433 inches, this plug suits large-bore aluminum pipe applications. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors during system commissioning, leak testing, or pipeline maintenance.

This expansion plug is suited for use in residential and commercial mechanical piping systems where a large-diameter aluminum plug is required. It is appropriate for applications involving pressure testing, pipe end sealing, or flow isolation in systems rated at or below 9 psi. The all-aluminum construction makes it a practical choice for corrosion-sensitive environments or installations requiring compatibility with aluminum pipe materials.

Key Features

• Expands from 9.527 inches to 10.433 inches for a secure in-bore fit
• Rated to a maximum of 9 psi for pressure containment and testing
• All-aluminum construction resists corrosion in mechanical piping environments
• Stem diameter of 1 inch provides a positive grip point for installation and removal
• Packaged as a single unit for straightforward procurement and inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style expansion plug for large-bore aluminum pipe systems with an internal bore accepting an unexpanded diameter of approximately 9.527 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor. Isolate and depressurize the pipe section before inserting the plug, and verify the system is de-energized or shut off at all relevant supply points. Use appropriate hand tools to seat and expand the plug evenly within the pipe bore. Do not exceed the 9 psi maximum rated pressure during testing or service.
