A straight plug is a fixed diameter and must match the pipe exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use a rubber expansion plug in a pool pipe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsert the plug into the pipe opening, then twist the wing-nut clockwise. This compresses and expands the rubber, creating a watertight seal against the pipe wall. To remove, simply loosen the wing-nut and pull the plug out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this plug to find a pool leak?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — expansion plugs are commonly used to isolate individual pipes (such as the main drain or return lines) to determine whether a specific pipe is the source of water loss. Plug the pipe, monitor water level, and compare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this plug suitable for use under water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Rubber expansion plugs can be used in submerged applications such as sealing a main drain at the bottom of the pool during servicing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aussie Gold","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985001808147,"sku":"MXP225","price":16.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/0591\/1827\/products\/Expansion-Plug.jpg?v=1684892958","url":"https:\/\/poolshop.com.au\/products\/tapered-expansion-plug-25mm","provider":"Pool Shop Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
