Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Threaded End Plug provides a removable seal for female threaded connections in CPVC plumbing systems. Unlike solvent-welded end caps that are permanent, this threaded plug can be unscrewed and removed when access is needed, making it ideal for cleanout points, future expansion provisions, and temporary closures. The male threaded design screws into female threaded adapters (FABT) or other female threaded fittings.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant brass or CPVC material, this plug maintains full pressure rating while providing the convenience of removability. The hex head design allows for easy installation and removal with standard wrenches. Essential for system testing, maintenance access points, and installations requiring future modifications without cutting pipes.

Recommended Applications

• Cleanout Points: Access points for system flushing and maintenance
• Future Expansion: Temporary closures for planned future connections
• Pressure Testing: Sealing test points during system commissioning
• Manifold Outlets: Closing unused manifold ports that may be needed later
• Drain Points: Removable closures for system drainage access
• Temporary Terminations: Closing connections during phased construction

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What's the difference between a threaded plug and an end cap?

A threaded plug has male threads that screw into female threaded fittings and can be removed and reinstalled as needed. An end cap is solvent-welded over a pipe end and creates a permanent seal. Use threaded plugs for access points and temporary closures, and end caps for permanent terminations.

2) Do I need PTFE tape on threaded plugs?

Yes, always apply PTFE thread seal tape to the plug's male threads before installation. Use 3-4 wraps of white PTFE tape wound in the clockwise direction. This ensures a leak-free seal and allows for easier removal in the future.

3) Can I reuse a threaded plug after removing it?

Yes, threaded plugs can be reused multiple times if the threads are in good condition. Remove old PTFE tape completely, inspect threads for damage, and apply fresh PTFE tape before reinstalling. Replace the plug if threads are damaged or worn.

4) What size threaded plug do I need?

The plug size must match the female threaded fitting you're closing. Common sizes are 1/2" (15mm), 3/4" (20mm), and 1" (25mm). Check the size marking on your female threaded adapter (FABT) to determine the correct plug size.

5) How tight should I make a threaded plug?

Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for 1-2 additional turns until snug. The plug should be tight enough to prevent leaks but not so tight that it damages threads or cracks the fitting. If leaks occur, check PTFE tape application before over-tightening.
