Schedule 80 CPVC Plugs

Schedule 80 CPVC plugs cap or seal the end of a line or unused outlet, helping pros isolate systems for maintenance, pressure testing, or future expansion. Built from corrosion-resistant CPVC, they handle higher pressures and temperatures than Schedule 40 and offer strong chemical resistance for demanding environments. Engineers commonly reference stress analysis and temperature/pressure derating to validate use in real systems.

Key features: thicker Schedule 80 walls; MPT (male pipe thread) configuration for secure engagement; compatible with CPVC systems in hot and cold water, HVAC, and light chemical processing; easy install/removal with basic tools; and compliance with ASTM D1784 (CPVC compound), ASTM F437 (threaded), and ASTM F439 (socket) specifications for CPVC pipe fittings.

Available Sizes & Variations

  • Nominal sizes typically 1/4"–4" to match common CPVC pipe sizes and CPVC fittings.
  • Variants for different use cases: MPT threaded plugs for quick, removable closures; socket (solvent-weld) plugs for permanent caps within CPVC Schedule 80 fittings.
  • Designed to meet industry-standard dimensions and pressure tolerances for residential, commercial, and industrial systems. Product details usually include resin type, pressure rating, operating temperature range, and NPT thread callouts—check the product page before ordering.

Common Applications

  • End-point sealing in plumbing and HVAC loops.
  • Isolation during maintenance shutdowns or change-outs in industrial networks.
  • Temporary closures for hydrostatic testing, flushing, and commissioning.
  • Water and chemical treatment where chemical resistance is essential.

Note: CPVC components are generally not recommended for compressed air due to safety risks associated with brittle failure.

CPVC Plug Installation

  • Prep: Clean and deburr female threads; confirm material compatibility (fluid, temp, pressure).
  • Seal: Apply PTFE tape (2–3 wraps) or CPVC-compatible thread sealant to male threads for a leak-tight fit.
  • Tighten: Hand-tighten, then wrench only 1–2 additional turns to avoid cracking the fitting.
  • Solvent-weld option: Use CPVC primer and CPVC solvent cement; follow set/cure times before pressurizing.
  • Best practices: Observe temperature/pressure derating; avoid petroleum-based sealants; pressure-test after installation. The thicker Schedule 80 walls provide inherent material reinforcement around the plug body and threads. Store parts in original packaging until use.

Advantages & What Sets CPVC Apart

  • Higher temperature tolerance and pressure ratings than standard PVC (CPVC vs PVC).
  • Excellent resistance to hot corrosive liquids found in chemical processing and similar applications.
  • Long service life with minimal maintenance; inspect periodically and re-seal if disturbed.
