Technical Products #5 Extended Winter Plug with Bolt & Spacer, 1" Tube, Pool Closing Plug FF1050
A spacer that keeps the wing nut within reach.
Technical Products #5 extended plug (FF1050) is a rubber expansion winterizing plug with a bolt and spacer between the rubber body and the wing nut, so the rubber can seal deeper inside a pipe or fitting while the nut stays where you can turn it. Technical Products rates the #5 at 1.02" in diameter for 1" tube. Technical Products builds its plugs from rubber, stainless steel and heavy duty nylon, so nothing in the plug corrodes sitting in a line all winter.

Why choose an extended plug?
The spacer puts distance between the rubber and the wing nut. That lets the plug seal deeper inside a pipe or fitting, such as down inside a skimmer, while you can still reach the nut to tighten it.
Pipe, fitting or tube: which one do I have?
A pipe size means the plug goes straight into the open end of the pipe itself. A fitting is the socket or threaded opening a pipe slides into, which is wider than the pipe of the same nominal size, so it takes a bigger plug. Tube sizes are for thin-wall tubing. If you are not sure, measure the inside of the opening and compare it with the rated diameter in the specs.
