Value Collection SS0.75 Nylon Hex Pipe Test Plug

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS0.75 is a nylon hex pipe test plug designed for pressure testing and leak detection in plumbing and piping systems. The plug expands inside the pipe bore to create a temporary, leak-resistant seal during hydrostatic or pneumatic testing procedures. Constructed from nylon, it offers good chemical resistance and is lightweight at 0.03 pounds. The nominal pipe size is 0.75 inches, with an unexpanded outer diameter of 0.740 inches and an expanded diameter of 0.900 inches. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of plug when isolating pipe sections during rough-in inspections or pressure tests required by code.

This test plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where temporary pipe sealing is needed. It is installed into pipe ends or fittings to block flow and hold pressure during inspection. The hex configuration allows for tool engagement during installation and removal. Typical applications include drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems as well as water supply lines during construction or repair.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the pipe section completely before inserting or removing the test plug. Use an appropriate wrench on the hex fitting to seat the plug evenly — do not overtighten, as nylon can crack under excessive torque. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and inspection requirements when performing pressure tests.
