Pipe Plug, EZ-Swet, Bypass, 148-0 Series

EZ-Swet By-Pass Plugs are built with a 1/2" cavity down the center of the tool to allow water or air to drain from the system while the repair is in progress. They are made from the same "professional grade" materials as the EZ-Swet and have a hose connection attached to the end of the hollow handle. This connection allows you to attach a garden hose to the end of the tool which directs the draining water to a floor sink or gutter while you continue the repair. Another feature of this plug is not only can water be drained, but in instances of working on pools or similar projects, an air supply at a maximum of 60 lbs. can be added through the plug into the plumbing system for pressure testing. These plugs are cleaner, more controllable, multi functional, and effect a quicker repair on any system. These by-pass plugs are not made for line testing as there may be slight seepage past the tightening stem.

Maximum 60 psig water pressure. Open valve and let water run to reduce pressure if necessary.
