TI Group pressure test plug for PEX pipe 16x2.0 mm, blue

TI Group pressure test plug for PEX pipe 16x2.0 mm, blue is a sealing accessory designed to close the end of a PEX pipe with nominal dimensions 16x2.0 mm during pressure and hydrostatic testing. The plug provides a temporary, watertight seal at the pipe end to allow controlled pressurization of the system and verification of joints, fittings and overall tightness. Constructed for on-site plumbing use, the blue colour makes it easy to identify among other testing tools and pipework components.

Advantages

The pressure test plug offers a reliable temporary seal for 16x2.0 mm PEX pipes, enabling accurate leak detection without permanent modification to the pipe. Its compact design allows quick insertion and removal, supporting efficient workflow for installers and technicians. The plug is compatible with standard PEX pipe dimensions and is suitable for repeated use during commissioning or diagnostic procedures.

Suitable for

• Leak and hydrostatic pressure testing of PEX pipe runs with nominal size 16x2.0 mm
• Commissioning and pressure checks of domestic and commercial plumbing systems
• On-site diagnostics and temporary sealing during repairs or modifications

Key specifications

• Intended pipe nominal size: 16 x 2.0 mm (PEX)
• Function: temporary end-cap seal for pressure testing
• Colour: blue for easy identification
• Typical application: pressure and hydrostatic tests of water distribution and heating circuits
• Portability: compact, hand-insertable design for quick use on site

How to use

Insert the blue plug into the clean-cut end of a 16x2.0 mm PEX pipe and press until the plug forms a secure, watertight seal. Connect the pressure test equipment to the system according to standard testing procedures and apply the required test pressure. Monitor pressure gauges and inspect joints and fittings for drops in pressure or visible leaks. After testing is complete and pressure is safely released, remove the plug by pulling it from the pipe end and store it for future use.

Usage recommendations

Before use, ensure the pipe end is free of debris and cut squarely for optimal sealing. Do not exceed the pressure limits specified for the PEX piping system when performing tests. After prolonged or repeated use inspect the plug for wear or damage and replace if sealing performance is reduced.
