Standard 1½ Inch PVC Waste Plug, Solvent Weld, White

1½ Inch PVC Waste Plug

The Standard 1½ Inch PVC Waste Plug, Solvent Weld, White provides a permanent, leak-proof seal for unused ports in domestic and commercial drainage systems. This fitting is manufactured from high-grade unplasticized polyvinyl chloride to ensure chemical resistance and structural integrity. It integrates seamlessly into standard 40mm waste pipe networks, making it an essential component for plumbers managing manifold configurations or terminating line runs.

Built for the Job

Site supervisors and plumbers utilize this fitting to cap off open pipe ends during the first-fix stage of construction. This prevents construction debris, mortar, or dust from entering the drainage stack, which avoids costly blockages later in the project. The component is designed for solvent welding, creating a fused bond that is stronger than the pipe itself. This makes it suitable for both gravity-fed waste lines and low-pressure discharge systems where mechanical plugs might fail or leak over time.

• Sealing redundant appliance inlets in kitchen or laundry manifolds.

• Terminating temporary waste lines during phased building renovations.

• Closing off inspection ports in non-pressurized drainage stacks.

Product Highlights

High-Impact uPVC Construction

The unplasticized formulation ensures the fitting remains rigid and resists warping under standard thermal cycles from hot water discharge.

Solvent Weld Compatibility

• Precision-machined socket depth for maximum surface contact.
• Compatible with all standard PVC cleaning fluids and solvent cements.

What’s Included

• 1 x 1½ Inch PVC Waste Plug (Solvent Weld)

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure the pipe end is cut square and deburred before inserting into this fitting to guarantee a full-depth bond.

• Clean both the internal socket of the cap and the external pipe surface with a proprietary pipe cleaner before applying solvent cement.

• Do not use this component in high-pressure water supply lines; it is rated specifically for non-pressure drainage and waste applications.

• Store in a cool area away from direct sunlight to prevent long-term UV degradation before installation.
