    Style F

    Style G

    Use the bypass tube on these plugs to add air, water, and other fluid to your pipeline or to relieve pressure while testing. The seal expands to temporarily close off pipe openings.
    Style F—For Style F, twist the easy-grip T-handle to expand the seal. They have a barbed bypass for quick connections to tubing.
    Style G—For Style G, twist the easy-grip T-handle to expand the seal. They have a Schrader valve bypass. An internal spring holds the valve shut until you depress the pin, giving you control over air flow.
    Maximum Air Back Pressure—Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving.
    Maximum Water Back Pressure—Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.

    Quick-Locking Expansion Plugs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Expansion Plugs. Quick-Locking Expansion Plugs.
    Save time sealing off pipe or valve box openings. These plugs install with one quarter turn of the handle, unlike wing-nut expansion plugs that require multiple turns. They temporarily close off your line with plastic feet that expand mechanically. The feet create a longer-lasting seal than plugs that expand with internal pressure, which can loosen over time. Since these plugs have no pressure ratings, they’re best for low-pressure applications. They’re often used in valve boxes to keep out dirt and debris.
    Black Handle—Plugs with a black handle often signify a closed-off wastewater line.
    Blue Handle—Plugs with a blue handle often signify a closed-off water line.
    Maximum Air Back Pressure—Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving.
    Maximum Water Back Pressure—Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.
