2 inch PVC DWV Plug

2 inch PVC DWV Male Thread Plug – Schedule 40 End Closure Fitting

The 2 inch PVC DWV MPT Plug is a molded Schedule 40 end-fitting designed for sealing off open ends in drainage, waste, and vent piping systems. Constructed from rigid polyvinyl chloride and manufactured to meet ASTM D2665 dimensional and performance standards, this plug ensures code-compliant system closure in non-pressurized applications.

Its male NPT-style threads allow for secure closure into threaded cleanout tees, access ports, or termination points where future access may be required. The smooth finish and precision-molded threads enable clean engagement with standard DWV threaded fittings, minimizing installation time and the potential for leaks.

Performance Characteristics

• ✅ Non-Pressure DWV Use – Engineered for gravity-based drainage systems; not rated for pressurized service
• ✅ Threaded Closure – MPT configuration allows for removal and reinstallation during cleanout or inspection
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant – PVC construction resists chemical degradation from typical residential and commercial waste streams
• ✅ Compatible with Solvent-Weld Systems – Threads into solvent-welded female adapters or cleanout tees
• ✅ ASTM D2665 Compliant – Meets dimensional and material standards for DWV applications

Specifications

• Material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Nominal Size: 2 inches
• Connection Type: Male Pipe Thread (MPT)
• Standard: ASTM D2665 / CSA B181.2
• Temperature Range: Up to 140°F (60°C) in drainage applications

Typical Applications

This DWV threaded plug is commonly installed in:

• Drainage cleanout terminations
• Unused branch access ports in DWV tees or wyes
• Temporary service caps during phased construction
• Vent stack closures in testing phases

Installation Guidelines

Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound rated for plastic threads before insertion to ensure a watertight seal. Hand-tighten followed by an appropriate wrench or tool for snug engagement; avoid overtightening to prevent thread deformation or cracking. Not for use in pressurized potable water systems.

Note:

Plugs should be accessible when used in cleanouts to comply with local plumbing codes and for serviceability. Always verify compatibility with adjoining pipe and fittings per manufacturer and code requirements.

The 2 inch PVC DWV MPT Plug offers a code-compliant, chemically resistant, and easily removable closure solution for non-pressurized systems. It is an essential fitting for maintaining access points while ensuring secure sealing in drainage infrastructure.
