Pipe Plug, Well Monitoring, 142-8 Series

Locking well plugs effectively seal monitoring wells, preventing contamination and unwanted access. These plugs fulfill EPA standards, ensuring compliance to environmental regulations. They are designed for groundwater monitoring and contribute to the protection of water quality in industrial, environmental, and testing applications.

These pipe plugs are designed to suit Schedule 40 plumbing, with select sizes also compatible with Schedule 5 pipes, and provide a tight, reliable seal. Their strong structure can survive extreme conditions, making them outstanding for long-term well monitoring.

How Locking Well Plugs Work?

Locking well plugs are designed to securely lock and protect monitoring wells from contamination, tampering, and environmental exposure. These plugs fit into the well casing and use mechanical compression to form a tight, leak-proof seal.

When installed, the stainless-steel carriage bolt tightens the Estaloc™ plastic plates, which expand inside the well casing for a solid hold. The nitrile o-ring improves the seal by preventing water, debris, and impurities from entering the well. A locking latch painted in yellow chromate is built into the design, allowing users to restrict unauthorized access by attaching a solid brass padlock (available separately).

These durable and chemically resistant plugs are suitable for groundwater monitoring, environmental testing, and industrial applications, ensuring that wells remain safe and in compliance with EPA requirements.
