The number and size in the part name tell you exactly what it seals, so match it to the pipe or fitting you are closing before you order. Slide the plug into the opening and tighten the nut: the rubber body squeezes down, swells against the wall, and locks in place. Sealing returns and blown out lines is what keeps water from working its way back into plumbing and splitting a pipe when the temperature drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003csection class=\"tpplug-spec-section\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"tpplug-spec-heading\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003ctable class=\"tpplug-spec-table\"\u003e\n      \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnical Products\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#1-5 Universal Winter Plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel \/ MPN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSP15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePST-SP15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRubber expansion winterizing plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSealing Body\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompression rubber, expands when the nut is tightened\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePipe or fitting size called out in the part name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeason\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePool closing and winterizing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReturns, skimmer lines, and blown out plumbing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReuse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReusable season to season when rinsed and stored dry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSold As\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \n  \u003csection class=\"tpplug-faq\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"tpplug-spec-heading\"\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"tpplug-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"tpplug-faq-q\"\u003eHow do I pick the right plug number?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"tpplug-faq-a\"\u003eGo by the size in the part name, not the plug number. \u003cstrong\u003ePipe\u003c\/strong\u003e means the plug drops inside a cut or open pipe of that size, and \u003cstrong\u003efitting\u003c\/strong\u003e means it seats inside a threaded or socket fitting of that size.
