FOR plumbers

Rip Plug - Made in USA

  • Code Compliant

  • Used by 1,000s of plumbers

Plumbers from all states across the U.S. (provinces in Australia and Canada) that test their DWV lines need to know about the Palmer’s™ Rip Plug. Using knock-out plugs inside a Clean-Out Test Tee is against the code, as part of the knock out plug rim is left in. The Palmer’s Test Tee Plug is completely removed. Blow up balls are expensive to plumbers because you have to depend on your apprentice plumbers to take good care of these inflatable balls.

Plumber Testimonials

I requested samples of the Palmer’s Plug. I knew after testing one of our houses that I would not have to LOOK for one more Test Ball. I ordered a box the next day. I was spending more time locating the balls then I was plumbing.

The Rip Plug save me about $10 on every sewer line that I run. At the street I no longer need to put a test tee behind the street riser. I just feed the cord up the riser and run the sewer line as usual. After the test just open the c/o and pull the cord. The plug un-zips and comes right out. Having just moved to PA I am experiencing culture shock. After 11 years in VA with testing EVERYTHING, here we haven’t tested anything yet.

I have used the Palmer’s Plug on my ground rough and found it to be an excellent time saver. In order to get my inspectors & do my yard lines at the same time. I highly recommend this plugs as common tools for ground roughs and two story applications.
