Technical Products #8.5 Winter Plug, 1 1/2" Pipe, Winterizing Plug SP2085
Seal the line before the freeze finds it.
Technical Products #8.5 Winter Plug, 1 1/2" Pipe, part SP2085 is a rubber expansion winterizing plug, stocked under SKU PST-SP2085. 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.

How do I pick the right plug number?
Go by the size in the part name, not the plug number. Pipe means the plug drops inside a cut or open pipe of that size, and fitting means it seats inside a threaded or socket fitting of that size. Measure the opening first, since a 1 1/2 inch fitting and a 1 1/2 inch pipe do not take the same plug.
Do I need a plug with a blow thru valve?
You need one if you want to blow the line out with the plug already installed. The valve lets compressed air pass through and then closes when the air stops, so the line holds its air lock and water cannot flow back. Plugs without a valve are set after the line is already clear.
Will a winter plug stop freeze damage by itself?
No. The plug keeps water out of a line you have already cleared, so blow the lines down and drop the water below the returns first, then plug. Snug the wing nut by hand until the rubber grips, and back it off in spring rather than fighting a plug that has been cranked tight all winter.

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.
