Anderson Manufacturing 1 1/8" Standard Closed Plug, Part AND130
Close the line and leave it closed.
Anderson Manufacturing 1 1/8" Standard Closed Plug, part AND130 is a winterizing plug for pool plumbing, stocked under SKU PST-AND130. It seals a return, skimmer, or suction line so water cannot work its way back into pipe you already blew out and freeze there. The size in the part name is the plumbing it fits, so measure the pipe or fitting before ordering and match it exactly. Anderson winterizing plugs are a service trade staple, so they hold up to being pulled, rinsed, and reset year after year.

What is the difference between a closed plug and an open plug?
A closed plug seals the line completely once it is set. An open plug passes air, so you can blow the line out with the plug already in place and let the pressure escape instead of building behind a dead end. Closed plugs are the default for returns; open styles and the Duck Plug valve are for lines you want to clear or vent after plugging.
How do I size the plug to my plumbing?
Measure the opening before you order. The size in the part name is the plumbing the plug is built for, and the difference between a 1 1/2 inch and a 1 7/8 inch plug is the difference between a seal and a leak. Threaded sizes such as MPT screw into a matching female fitting rather than wedging inside a pipe.
Does plugging the lines protect the pool from freezing?
Plugging is the last step, not the whole job. Lower the water below the returns, blow the lines clear, then plug so nothing refills them. The skimmer still needs its own protection, whether that is a compensator, a skimmer plug, or a cover plate over the throat.

Let customers speak for us
The bulb was lost in transit and PST reached out proactively to ask if I wanted a replacement shipped out!
part was an exact fit for my old spa, price was great thanks
Fast shipping and great customer support. I appreciate all of the help in getting my spa up and working.
The cord worked perfectly when I upgraded my older Balboa spa and pump.
I had a leak in which water was leaking out to the waste line. I could hear the water trickling in the waste line. The spider gasket in this kit resolved the issue.
Shipping and delivery were quick. Would definitely order again from PST.
Fit perfectly and works great.
Awesome item. I can control my spa from my phone!! Love it. Item was shipoed out and delivered so fast. Hooking it up was a breeze.
The support staff to make the orders were outstanding; even though I made a quantity error. And the timeliness of all the repair parts I needed to get the OLD Tiger Shark running as good as new was wonderful. My pool is crystal clear.
Fit perfectly on our bubbler lightv
The only place I could find with the part I needed. Delivery was fast and the price was great. Best pool supply store on the web.
Part was easy to find and arrived a couple of days earlier than originally scheduled.
The ceramic spindle in the center of the original impellor broke. Replacement with this part was super easy and pump performs like new.
