PPRC Male Threaded Plugs
A PPR male threaded plug is a threaded plastic plug that closes the outlets of female-threaded elbows, tees and adaptors.
It is used to close outlets in concealed installations until fixtures are fitted and to block ports during pressure testing. It is supplied in 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″.
Main Applications
- Closing concealed fixture outlets
- Blocking ports during pressure tests
- Outlets for later use
- Protecting installations during construction
- Drain ports
