Safe-T-Seal – TTMP Test Tee Mechanical Plugs<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 What are test tee plugs used to do?<\/b><\/p>\n

A.\u00a0 Test Tee plugs are used when doing vertical multi-level stack testing.\u00a0 They are designed specifically to fit into a test tee.<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 Why are your TTMP, Test Tee plugs a mechanical design when other companies are a pneumatic design?<\/b><\/p>\n

A.\u00a0 We use a mechanical design because it is far safer, better performing and more convenient.\u00a0 Pneumatic plugs require an air pump or compressor and air hose to inflate the plug.\u00a0 Our plugs also install much faster saving the user valuable time on the job.<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 Do your TTMP Test Tee Mechanical plugs perform as well as the pneumatic screw-in style?<\/b><\/p>\n

A.\u00a0 Our plugs perform much better than the screw-in plugs.\u00a0 The screw-in plugs are rated to hold 30 feet of head pressure while ours are rated to hold 100 \u2013 150 feet of head pressure for the same size plug.\u00a0 The pneumatic inflatable plugs are a blind inflation, meaning if they are under-inflated, the test will leak and therefore fail and if they are over-inflated, they will burst costing valuable time and money.\u00a0 We also have a steel 2-stage locking pin that securely locks the plug into the test position and into the drain position.\u00a0 No guesswork!<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 How long will these plugs last?<\/b><\/p>\n

A.\u00a0 You will enjoy years of life with our TTMP, Test Tee Mechanical plugs.\u00a0 They do not require repeated inflation and deflation so the rubber has a much longer life.\u00a0 The soft rubber on the screw-in version wears thin due to the hard plastic body it is constantly rubbing against.\u00a0 The screw-in plugs also frequently get pinholes from being inflated in cast iron tees where there are sharp barbs.<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 What are other benefits of your TTMP Test Tee Mechanical plugs over the screw-in version?<\/b><\/p>\n

A. 1) The rubber pads on our plugs are replaceable!\u00a0 This allows you to replace the pads if they ever are damaged through user abuse.\u00a0 2) Our plugs fit all pipe materials, Cast Iron, PVC, DWV and ABS.\u00a0 The screw in versions require buying two separate plugs for cast iron and PVC with certain sizes.\u00a0 3) Our TTMP Mechanical Test Tee plugs are made in the USA using high quality GoodYear rubber while the two leading manufacturers of the screw-in version test tee plugs have them made overseas using inferior rubber with less quality assurance.<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 What sizes do you offer for your TTMP Test Tee Mechanical plugs? \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

A.\u00a0 We offer the broadest range of sizes for this type of test plug, available in sizes 2\u201d through 10\u201d.\u00a0 The screw-in test tee plug is available only up to 6\u201d and with limited performance ability.\u00a0 We also offer a \u201cwater-fill\u201d feature on sizes 6\u201d, 8\u201d and 10\u201d test tee plugs.\u00a0 This means that the user can fill the test pipe (stack) with water through the plug (at plug level) without having to pull a water hose above the desired testing area and fill the stack from the top.\u00a0 This is a tremendous feature.<\/p>\n

Q.\u00a0 What does \u201cNo Backsplash Draining\u201d mean?<\/b><\/p>\n

A.\u00a0 No Backsplash Draining means that when draining the water out of the test pipe (stack) after the test is completed, there is no water splash into the work area.\u00a0 We offer the most secure and efficient drainage of any test tee plugs with our steel, 2-stage locking pin.\u00a0 The screw-in plugs require that the user wrap Teflon tape around the threads or there will be water spillage onto the work area when draining.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6410","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtwaterproducts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtwaterproducts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtwaterproducts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtwaterproducts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtwaterproducts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6410"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/gtwaterproducts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6427,"href":"https:\/\/gtwaterproducts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6410\/revisions\/6427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtwaterproducts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
