This Technical Products expandable winter plug seals a pool line for the cold season. The plug is rubber and tightens by hand with a nylon wing nut. Turning the nut squeezes the rubber, which expands and presses against the inside wall of the pipe or fitting. It comes in three sizes: #9, #10 and #11.
Choosing the right size
| Plug | Fits | Plug diameter |
|---|---|---|
| #9 | 1-1/2 in pipe or 1-3/4 in fitting | 1.69 in |
| #10 | 1-1/2 in fitting | 1.89 in |
| #11 | 2 in pipe | 2.13 in |
Measure the inside diameter of the opening before you order. The plug must slide in before you tighten it; the rubber then expands to seal the opening. If you are unsure between two sizes, send us a photo of the opening with a tape measure.
