Value Collection SS1.00 Nylon Hex Pipe Test Plug 1 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS1.00 is a nylon hex pipe test plug designed for pressure and leak testing of pipe systems during inspection and commissioning. The plug expands inside the pipe to create a temporary seal, blocking flow so technicians can pressurize the line and verify integrity before final connections are made. Constructed from nylon, it resists corrosion and is lightweight at 0.04 pounds. The nominal pipe size is 1 inch, with an unexpanded diameter of 0.975 inches and an expanded diameter of 1.200 inches. Plumbers and pipefitters use these plugs during rough-in inspections and system verification.

This test plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where temporary line isolation is needed during pressure testing. It is installed in pipe openings to block flow and hold test pressure while the system is inspected. The hex drive design allows for controlled expansion using standard hand tools. It is appropriate for drain, waste, and vent systems as well as water supply rough-in testing where code-required pressure tests must be performed prior to cover or final inspection.

Key Features

• Nylon construction resists corrosion and is suitable for wet environments
• Nominal size of 1 inch fits standard pipe openings at that dimension
• Unexpanded diameter of 0.975 inches and expanded diameter of 1.200 inches for a secure in-pipe seal
• Hex plug design accepts standard wrenches or sockets for controlled tightening
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds for easy handling and positioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use test plug for 1 inch nominal pipe openings in residential and commercial plumbing pressure test applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters during required pressure or leak tests before system inspection. Ensure the pipe opening is clean and free of debris before inserting the plug to achieve a proper seal. Use a wrench or socket on the hex fitting to expand the plug evenly — do not overtighten, as nylon can crack under excessive torque. Always relieve system pressure completely before removing the test plug after inspection.
