Value Collection SS0.50 Nylon Pipe Test Plug 0.50 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS0.50 is a nylon hex plug designed for pressure testing pipe systems. It expands inside the pipe bore to form a temporary seal, allowing techs to pressurize a section of pipe and check for leaks before commissioning. Made from nylon, the plug is lightweight and resistant to common water and drain fluids. The nominal size is 0.50 inches, with an unexpanded diameter of 0.490 inches and an expanded diameter of 0.600 inches. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of plug during rough-in inspections and pressure testing on new or repaired pipe runs.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a temporary, removable pipe seal is needed during pressure testing or system commissioning. It is installed by hand into the pipe opening and expanded to seat against the pipe wall, then removed after the test is complete. Typical use cases include drain, waste, and vent (DWV) line testing as well as supply line pressure checks during rough-in.
