It is also cataloged under the number 154699.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plug closes the drain port at the bottom of the pump volute. Pull it and the housing empties, which is what has to happen before a freeze and any time the wet end is opened for service. The wing head means it comes out by hand rather than needing a tool, which matters when the pump sits in a tight equipment enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe part that goes with it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plug seals against an o-ring, and that ring is ordered separately. If the pump weeps a slow drip at the drain port rather than the plug being cracked or the wing snapped off, replace the o-ring first. A plug pulled tight against a hardened ring will not seal, and cranking it harder is how the plug body gets broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePentair lists this plug with EQ series commercial pumps, Challenger high head and high flow pumps and Sta-Rite SuperMax pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634929643732,"sku":"PAC-101-7161","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_e8a0b9e0-3782-4ad0-a818-491376982c63.jpg?v=1788838924","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/drain-plug-wing-1-4-black","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
