Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Threaded End Plug provides a removable seal for female threaded connections in CPVC plumbing systems. Unlike solvent-welded end caps that are permanent, this threaded plug can be unscrewed and removed when access is needed, making it ideal for cleanout points, future expansion provisions, and temporary closures. The male threaded design screws into female threaded adapters (FABT) or other female threaded fittings.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant brass or CPVC material, this plug maintains full pressure rating while providing the convenience of removability. The hex head design allows for easy installation and removal with standard wrenches. Essential for system testing, maintenance access points, and installations requiring future modifications without cutting pipes.

Installation Guidelines
Thread Preparation: Clean female threads; ensure no debris or old PTFE tape remains
PTFE Tape Application: Wrap plug threads with 3-4 layers of PTFE tape in clockwise direction
