3 inch ABS DWV Cleanout Plug

3 inch ABS DWV Plug – Threaded MPT End Closure for DWV Piping Systems

The 3 inch ABS DWV Plug is a male-threaded fitting used to terminate a drainage, waste, and vent (DWV) pipeline. Designed for use with 3 inch female-threaded ABS DWV fittings, it provides a reliable and removable end seal in non-pressurized piping systems.

Manufactured from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), this plug offers dimensional stability and chemical resistance typical of DWV system components. Its tapered NPT threads conform to industry standards to ensure a consistent, leak-resistant seal when installed with approved thread sealant or PTFE tape.

Product Features

• ✅ Connection Type: 3 inch Male Pipe Thread (MPT) – suitable for threaded DWV fittings
• ✅ Material: ABS plastic conforming to ASTM D2661
• ✅ System Application: For use in gravity-flow DWV systems (non-pressure)
• ✅ Finish and Fit: Machined thread form ensures compatibility with standard ABS fittings
• ✅ Code Compliance: Meets requirements of ASTM D2661 and CSA B181.1 for DWV fittings

Installation Guidelines

Apply PTFE tape or ABS-compatible thread sealant to male threads before installation. Hand tighten and finish with a wrench if needed, taking care not to over-torque and crack mating components. This plug is designed for temporary or permanent sealing applications where future access or testing may be required.

Typical Applications

Used in residential and commercial ABS DWV systems, this plug seals cleanout fittings, system ends during pressure testing, or branch lines not currently in service. It provides a cost-effective method for closure without solvent welding, allowing for disassembly if needed.
