Value Collection PC44GW-88 Push-to-connect Plug 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC44GW-88 is a push-to-connect plug fitting used to cap or terminate a 1/2 inch inside diameter tube line. Constructed from polyoxymethylene (POM), a rigid acetal resin known for its chemical resistance and dimensional stability, this fitting handles pressures up to 150 psi. Installation requires no tools or threaded connections — the tube seats by pressing it directly into the fitting body until the retaining ring locks it in place. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance trades use plug fittings like this to isolate branch lines, cap unused ports, or temporarily terminate tubing runs during service or system modifications.

This plug fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer applications where a 1/2 inch OD-compatible tube must be capped quickly and securely. The POM construction makes it appropriate for clean water, compressed air, and many non-aggressive fluid systems. It is sold individually and installs in seconds without adhesives, clamps, or fittings tools, making it a practical stock item for service trucks and shop inventory.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design locks tubing without tools or threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect replacement plug for systems using 1/2 inch inside diameter tubing in plumbing, pneumatic, and light fluid-transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing fitting or inserting this plug. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs, then push it firmly into the fitting until the internal retaining ring clicks and holds. To release the tube, press the collet ring toward the fitting body while pulling the tube out. Follow all applicable plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, when using push-to-connect fittings in permanent installations.
