Galvanized Plate Test Plug

The Galvanized Plate Test Plug is a mechanical test plug that seats against the pipe wall with a rubber gasket compressed between galvanized coated pressure plates. It can be quickly installed and removed with the tightening handle; test pressure can be applied to the line or the line can be drained via the 1/2" by-pass connection.

Application Area

It is used for leak-tightness tests in small-diameter drainage, wastewater, and plumbing lines, as well as for temporarily shutting off the line during maintenance. Options are available for nominal sizes between 1 1/2" and 6"; the maximum back pressure ranges from 0.5 to 2 bar depending on the size.

Technical Usage Notes

• The maximum back pressure value, which varies by size, must not be exceeded.
• The tightening process must be carried out so that the gasket seats evenly against the pipe wall.
• The gasket surfaces must be clean and undamaged.
• Double-seal plugs can be produced to order.

The pipe diameter range and maximum back pressure values according to nominal sizes are given in the table under the Technical Specifications tab.
