Schedule 40 PVC plugs are used to seal open ends on PVC pipes and create a closed plumbing system to prevent leaks and contamination. PVC plugs are designed to provide a watertight closure and consistent performance to plug and terminate pipeline sections across piping systems. Made from professional grade PVC, these fittings are performance engineered to withstand the pressures and temperatures typical in Schedule 40 PVC applications. They can be used to cap unused pipe ends, terminate pipe sections, create a closed system for liquid pressure testing, and prevent contamination during storage or transport. PVC plugs are commonly used in potable water systems, wastewater treatment, irrigation, chemical processing, and industrial and manufacturing plumbing supply lines.
Sch 40 PVC Plug Sizes and Options
Sch 40 PVC plug fitting sizes range from 3/8" to 6" in diameter for use with the same size Schedule 40 pipe. Connection options include spigot or male threads. Spigot PVC plugs are compatible with socket end pipes and should be installed with primer and cement for a permanent set. Threaded PVC plugs are MPT type with exterior threads compatible with female threaded pipe or fittings. A quality pipe tape should be used when installing threaded plugs.
Quality and Safety Standards
Schedule 40 PVC plugs are manufactured to meet rigorous industry standards for both quality and safety. The fittings comply with ASTM D2466 which ensures consistent dimensions, material properties, and performance, and ASTM D1784 for the PVC itself and specific property requirements for impact resistance, tensile strength, and heat deflection. Our Sch 40 plugs also meet NSF 14 and 61 standards for potable water applications. These quality and safety standards cover material safety, leak resistance, and pressure capacity to demonstrate the plugs are reliable and non-toxic for designated uses. Our PVC plugs are USA made by reputable manufacturers with internal quality control measures that exceed industry standards for consistent product quality.
