It is a high-strength, precision-engineered fitting designed to plug and seal threaded openings in various piping systems. Crafted from forged steel, this bushing offers exceptional durability and reliability, making it suitable for demanding industrial, commercial, and construction applications.
A plastic long plug is a type of fitting used in plumbing and drainage systems to seal the ends of pipes. These plugs are designed to fit into the ends of pipes to prevent the passage of fluids or gases and are commonly used in various applications, including irrigation, wastewater management, and plumbing installations.
Key Features of Plastic Long Plugs:
Material:
Typically made from durable plastic materials such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PP (Polypropylene), or HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene).
The plastic material ensures resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV rays, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Design:
Long plugs are generally designed with a tapered or cylindrical shape, allowing for easy insertion into the ends of pipes.
They may feature ridges or grooves to ensure a snug fit and prevent leakage.
Applications:
Commonly used in drainage systems to cap off unused pipes or as temporary closures during construction or maintenance.
Employed in irrigation systems to close off lateral lines or stubs.
Useful in plumbing systems to prevent backflow or to seal off pipes during repairs.
Sizes:
Available in various sizes to match standard pipe diameters (e.g., 20 mm, 25 mm, 32 mm, 50 mm, etc.).
It’s essential to choose the correct size to ensure a secure and leak-proof seal.
Installation:
Installation is typically straightforward; the plug is pushed or screwed into the end of the pipe.
For threaded plugs, a thread sealant or Teflon tape may be used to ensure a watertight seal.
Durability:
Plastic long plugs are designed for long-term use, with high resistance to environmental factors.
They can withstand a range of temperatures and pressures, depending on the specific material used.
Pressure and Temperature Rating:
Rated for various pressure levels depending on the material, usually suitable for medium-pressure applications.
Temperature tolerance can vary; for example, PVC plugs are generally rated for temperatures up to 60°C (140°F).
