Technical Products SP-205 Winter Expansion Plug #5 – For 1" Tube
The Technical Products SP-205 is a #5 rubber winter expansion plug designed to seal 1" inside-diameter (ID) lines/tubes during pool winterization. The plug expands as you tighten the wing nut, creating a secure, watertight seal to help prevent water from re-entering the line and causing freeze damage.
Key Features
- Fits: 1" ID tube/line (common winterizing size)
- Expansion style seal: Tightening compresses the rubber to expand and grip the inside of the pipe
- Durable rubber body built for seasonal freeze protection
- Wing nut tightening for quick install and removal (no tools typically required)
- Helps protect plumbing from freeze-related cracking by keeping water out after blowout

Installation Notes

- Tighten the wing nut until the rubber expands and seals firmly.

Maintenance Tips
- Verify line size by measuring the inside diameter of the pipe—winter plug sizes are based on the opening they seal.
- After installation, check for seepage; a properly expanded plug should seal without needing excessive force.
- Store plugs clean and dry in the off-season to extend rubber life.
- If the rubber is cracked, stiff, or won’t expand evenly, replace the plug before winterizing.
