Buying advice

When choosing an expansion plug, consider the pipe material, pressure requirements, and frequency of use. Brass plugs offer durability and corrosion resistance for permanent or high-pressure applications, while rubber and PVC are economical for temporary testing or low-pressure systems. Ensure proper size and thread type (NPT) for a secure fit.
