Trerice Test Plug, 1/2 in NPT, 1-1/2 in Length, 1000 psi, 350 deg F, Brass Body, Brass Cap, Neoprene Core
The Trerice Test Plug provides a convenient access port for determining the pressure and/or temperature of process media contained in a pipe line or vessel. The test plug is designed for use in chilled or hot water systems and is permanently installed in the system at the desired test location. A test thermometer or pressure gauge with test adapter can be inserted through the plug to determine the conditions within the system. When the probe is withdrawn, the inner valve plug closes to seal the system. The test plug includes a removable cap to protect the inner valve plug and provide a secondary seal. Nordel, otherwise known as EPDM, provides excellent service in hot or cold water. Nordel should not be used with hydrocarbon solvents, hydrocarbon oils, chlorinated hydro carbons or turpentine. Neoprene, a synthetic rubber, provides excellent service in ammonia, high aniline point petroleum oils and silicate ester lubricants. Neoprene should not be used with silicone greases, silicone oils or di-ester based lubricants.

Test plugs are designed for initial startup and testing, not continuous or frequent useIf continuous or frequent use is desired or expected, a test well should be installed for temperature applications and a needle valve installed for pressure applicationsTests should be made as quickly as possible because the inner plug resealing time is dependent upon the length of time the probe remains inserted, as well as the temperature and pressure of the systemThe test plug may take longer to reseal at lower temperatures or pressureThe probe used for testing should never exceed a diameter of 0.156 inThe pressure gauge used for testing should always have a range of twice the system pressure
