150mm Drain Testing Plug
Product Description
This 6-inch Steel Drain Test Plug is designed for pressure or leak testing of large diameter drains and sewers. It fits pipes in the 6-inch range and provides a robust, temporary seal that allows inspection, detection of leaks, and compliance testing without dismantling sections of pipe. Ideal for plumbers, drainage engineers, contractors, and site testers.
The plug features zinc-plated steel plate construction to resist corrosion and provide durability. It uses a rubber sealing gasket to make a tight, water- and air-resistant seal when clamped. The tightening mechanism (typically wing nuts or bolts) pulls the plates together inside the pipe, compressing the gasket against the wall to create the seal. With proper installation, it can withstand moderate test pressures typical in drain testing procedures.
