About this item

  • Fits actual inside opening diameters of 20–29 mm (approximately 0.787–1.142 inches). Measure the opening before ordering. The #1-5 designation is a plug size reference, not an inch measurement. Does not fit an actual 1/2-inch opening.
  • Fits nominal 3/4-inch pipe openings within the stated range, including PVC Schedule 40, CPVC Schedule 40 IPS, black and galvanized steel Schedule 40, stainless steel Schedule 5S/10S/40S, Type M copper, and HDPE IPS DR 9/11/13.5. Verify actual inside diameter; fit varies by pipe type and wall thickness.
  • Tapered rubber expansion plug for pool and spa winterizing and temporary sealing of pipe, tube, and drain openings within the recommended fit range. Tightening the wingnut compresses the rubber body so it expands against the opening.
  • Includes one Lamprey Hardware LHTP15U #1-5 plug with a rubber body, nylon wingnut, stainless steel bolt, and stainless steel top washer. The tapered rubber body measures 15.9 mm at the bottom and 27.7 mm at the top before tightening.
  • Insert the narrow end, seat the plug securely, and hand-tighten only enough to form a seal. Do not overtighten; excessive tightening can damage the nylon wingnut. Loosen the wingnut before removing the plug.

Lamprey Hardware #1-5 Universal Rubber Winter Plug LHTP15U is a tapered expansion plug for pool and spa winterizing and temporary sealing of pipes, tubes, and drain openings. Fits actual inside opening diameters of 20–29 mm (approximately 0.787–1.142 inches). Includes one plug. Measure before ordering. Nominal pipe size differs from actual inside diameter. The #1-5 designation identifies the plug size; it is not a measurement in inches. This plug does not fit an actual 1/2-inch opening. The following nominal 3/4-inch pipe types have published inside diameters within the recommended fit range: PVC Schedule 40 CPVC Schedule 40 IPS Black steel and galvanized steel Schedule 40 Stainless steel Schedule 5S, 10S, and 40S Copper tubing Type M HDPE IPS DR 9, DR 11, and DR 13.5 Compatibility is based on opening diameter. Measure the actual opening, as manufacturing tolerances, internal seams, buildup, and fittings can affect fit. Other pipe and tube openings may also fit when their measured inside diameter is within 20–29 mm. The rubber body has a nylon wingnut, stainless steel bolt, and stainless steel top washer, with no bottom washer. Before tightening, the tapered body measures 15.9 mm (0.626 inch) at the bottom and 27.7 mm (1.091 inches) at the top. The fully expanded diameter is 29.2 mm (1.150 inches); the maximum recommended opening diameter is 29 mm. To install, insert the narrow end into the opening, seat the plug securely, and hand-tighten the wingnut only enough to form a seal. Do not overtighten; excessive tightening can damage the nylon wingnut. Loosen the wingnut before removing the plug.
