Question 7

How does this 1" PVC male threaded plug compare to a 1" PVC female threaded plug or a threaded end cap?

Accepted Answer

- For applications where you need a plug that screws into a female threaded pipe, the Atlas 1" PVC Male Thread Plug is the right choice, since its male threads mate with female fittings. - A 1" PVC Female Threaded Plug would be used in the opposite scenario (female threads on the plug). - A threaded end cap is a different component designed to cap the end of a pipe rather than seal a branch or open port; use it if you want a fixed end closure rather than a plug for testing or temporary sealing.

Question 9

What installation or usage tips help ensure a tight seal?

Accepted Answer

Tips: clean both threads before installation, apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC, install by hand to avoid cross‑threading, then tighten gently with a wrench until snug without overtightening, and check for leaks after the system is pressurized.

Question 10

What should I look for if the plug leaks after installation?

Accepted Answer

If leakage occurs: recheck the thread alignment, clean threads, reapply thread sealant if used, reseat the plug by tightening a bit more within safe limits, and inspect for cracks or damage to the plug or mating female thread. If leakage persists, consider replacing the plug with a new one.
