Wing Nut Expansion Plugs
Twist the wing nut on these plugs to expand the seal and close off pipe openings. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving. Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.
A wide top flange on Style B stops these plugs from falling into pipes.
Lock Style D with a padlock (not included) to limit access.
Style E have an eyebolt that allows you to tether or hang these plugs for convenient storage.
The flanges on Style F are the same size, which means you can install these plugs inside of pipes as deep as needed.

Expansion Plugs with Bypass
Use the bypass tube on these plugs to add air, water, and other fluid to your pipeline or to relieve pressure while testing. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving. Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.
Style G and Style J plugs have a Schrader valve, which has an internal spring that holds the valve shut until you depress the pin, providing control over air flow.

Deep-Reach Wing Nut Expansion Plugs
Plate With
Brass Stem
Insert these plugs deep within your pipe to temporarily block off a line. Twist their wing nut to expand the seal. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving. Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.
Plugs with a stainless steel plate have excellent corrosion resistance.
Plugs with a plastic plate are lighter in weight than plugs with a stainless steel plate.
