    Style F

    Twist the wing nut on these plugs to expand the seal and close off pipe openings.
    Style A—Style A aren’t recommended for pressure testing, so they’re often used as a dust cover.
    Style E—Style E have an eyebolt, so you can tether or hang them for convenient storage.
    Style F—Style F have flanges of the same size, so you can install them as deep as needed. Rated for higher pressures than our other styles, they’re ideal for leak testing.
    Zinc-Plated Steel Plate—Plugs with a zinc-plated steel plate have fair corrosion resistance.
    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.
