Plugging stubs is the cheapest way to make a system expandable, and it is what separates a piping job that was planned from one that was improvised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlan the System to Grow\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thing plants regret about a compressed air main is never that they left too many capped stubs. It is that the main is undersized and there is nowhere to tie in. When we lay out a Quick-Lock system we usually put a plugged tee where the floor plan looks likely to change: the end of a bay, the edge of an area earmarked for a second cell, the point where a future dryer or receiver would land. A plug costs between eight and sixty-five dollars. Cutting into a live main later costs a shutdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilding a Complete Quick-Lock System\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-quick-lock-series-aluminum-compressed-air-pipe\"\u003eQuick-Lock aluminum tubing, 14mm to 63mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-quick-lock-union-tee\"\u003eEqual tees and reduction outlet tees\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-quick-lock-union-elbow\"\u003e90 and 45 degree elbows and street elbows\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-quick-lock-straight-union-connector\"\u003eStraight union connectors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-quick-lock-saddle-clamp-outlet\"\u003eSaddle clamp outlets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-quick-lock-replacement-o-ring\"\u003eReplacement o-rings, standard and high temperature\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrdering Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll Quick-Lock products and accessories are NO CANCEL \/ NO RETURN\u003c\/strong\u003e, per Champion's current price list.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreight:\u003c\/strong\u003e freight collect from Huntersville, NC 28078 or Las Vegas, NV 89113.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping weights:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champion publishes no per-fitting weight for this range, so no catalog weight is carried on these variants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Air Compressor Store\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir Compressor Store is an authorized Champion Pneumatic distributor. We will tell you where to leave capped stubs before you install, not after. Send us the floor plan and we will quote the whole bill of material at no charge. Every fitting carries Champion's Lifetime Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the plug go into a fitting or onto the tube?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInto a fitting. The plug has the same calibrated profile as a tube end, so it pushes into any Quick-Lock union, elbow or tee leg of that size and is retained and sealed exactly as the tube would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I cap a bare tube end with nothing on it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut a straight union connector on the tube and plug the open end of the union. That gives you a sealed termination you can open later by pulling the plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the 14mm plastic plug as strong as the brass ones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the plug Champion publishes for 14mm, and 14mm is the only size where the tube itself is a push-lock connection needing no torque. For anything heavier than a bench or station run, you are in 20mm and up and therefore in brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I pressure test with plugs installed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and that is the normal way to commission a system before the drops are finished. Follow Champion's test procedure: raise pressure in 15 psig increments, hold ten minutes at the first step, inspect for leakage and joint slippage, and never exceed 220 psig.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I remove a plug while the line is pressurized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Isolate and bleed the section first. A plug released under 125 PSIG is a projectile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I reuse a plug?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Loosen the fitting's compression nut one to one and a half turns, push the plug in, then pull it out. Check the o-ring before you reuse it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champion","offers":[{"title":"14mm \/ 0.5 in - Plastic","offer_id":67577343279379,"sku":"XCQL-PP-14","price":8.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20mm \/ 0.75 in","offer_id":67577343312147,"sku":"XCQL-FP-20","price":8.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25mm \/ 1 in","offer_id":67577343344915,"sku":"XCQL-FP-25","price":10.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32mm \/ 1.25 in","offer_id":67577343377683,"sku":"XCQL-FP-32","price":13.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40mm \/ 1.5 in","offer_id":67577343410451,"sku":"XCQL-FP-40","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50mm \/ 2 in","offer_id":67577343443219,"sku":"XCQL-FP-50","price":36.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"63mm \/ 2.5 in","offer_id":67577343475987,"sku":"XCQL-FP-63","price":52.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/3141\/8387\/files\/end-cap-2.jpg?v=1790941283","url":"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-quick-lock-fitting-plug","provider":"Warthog Air Compressor Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
