Horizon Size 5 Winterizing Plug, 1 in Pipe
Tapered expansion plug for off-season plumbing seal-up.

Outer diameter is ~1.094 in, the standard Technical Products / Anderson plug-size 5 cross-reference.

Good to Know
Does this go in a pipe or in a fitting socket?
This size (5) is sized for 1 in Pipe. Pipe plugs go into the cut end of a Sch 40 PVC pipe (smaller ID). Fitting plugs go into the open socket end of a coupling, ell, or valve port (larger ID). If you are not sure which end you have, measure the inside diameter with a caliper and match to the OD column on the spec table.
How tight should I crank the wing nut?
Hand-tight plus a quarter turn. The rubber gasket needs to expand against the pipe ID, but over-cranking deforms the gasket and shortens its life. If the plug leaks under low blower pressure, add another quarter turn and retest. If you are pressurizing above 5-10 psi, switch to a threaded plug instead.
Need a different size?
The Horizon plug series covers every standard plug-size number. Common sister sizes: 00 for 1/2 in Pipe, 0 for 1/2 in Fitting, 2 for 3/4 in Pipe, 3 for 3/4 in Fitting, 6 for 1 in Fitting, 7 for 1-1/4 in Pipe. Match the plug-size number to your pipe or fitting ID and you will land on the right SKU.
