We've got you covered!
Schedule 80 PVC plugs are used to close off the end of a Schedule 80 PVC pipe fitting to create a leakproof, reliable seal. These durable plugs are designed to temporarily or permanently seal a pipe fitting that is currently unused or extra to the plumbing system. Schedule 80 PVC plugs are also known as heavy duty plugs, industrial plugs, and pressure rated plugs. They are often used with Sch 80 wyes, crosses, and tees when performing a pressure test, maintenance, or repair. Fitting plugs are manufactured from high grade PVC plastic to Schedule 80 wall thickness. Their engineering improves total physical durability, chemical strength, and pressure resistance. Schedule 80 PVC plugs are designed to withstand higher fluid pressures, making them the preferred choice over Schedule 40 components for these work cases. Common use applications include plumbing networks, wastewater management, chemical processing and distribution, irrigation systems, and various industrial and manufacturing scenarios.
Sch 80 PVC Plug Sizes and Options
Sch 80 PVC plug sizes range from 3/8" to 4” in diameter with Schedule 80 thickness. Plug fittings are available in either Sch 80 PVC socket plug or Sch 80 PVC threaded plug types. PVC socket plugs feature a spigot style connection to insert and join using solvent or glue. PVC threaded plugs feature a male pipe threaded (MPT) end for mating with a female pipe threaded (FPT) fitting.
Quality and Safety Standards
Our Schedule 80 PVC plugs are made in the USA. They are precision engineered for lasting performance and reliable safety. Manufactured by leading manufacturers to conform to ASTM D1784, ASTM D2464/2467, and NSF standards and specifications. ASTM D1784 standard specifies the grade and quality of the product’s PVC material. ASTM D2464/2467 standards cover the product’s pressure rating, size and measurements, and connections to ensure they are within the accepted range for Schedule 80 plumbing. Our Sch 80 PVC plugs are NSF certified and approved for potable water applications.
PVC is resistant to many chemicals and corrosive materials. This resistance makes Sch 80 PVC plugs suitable for many industrial and chemical handling applications. For chemical plumbing systems and conveyance, always verify chemical compatibility before use.
Applications and Uses
Heavy duty PVC plugs are commonly used in various plumbing systems and applications across industries and fluid conveyance needs. In water plumbing, irrigation, and chemical distribution, pressure-rated plugs are used to temporarily or permanently seal off unused fittings. When maintenance or repair is needed, plugs are used to isolate a section of pipe for service or replacement. Plugs are used in pressure testing to ensure the system can withstand the required pressure without leaks or part faults.
