I was looking for a 3 1/2 brass cap, this would not fit and I finally found what I needed at Ace in the clearance bin

Works great for a temporary fix.

Would Recommend

Works well, but wing nut wears out easily. Company won’t sell replacements. I wanted ten. They said nope!

Could not tighten enough to seal a 3" pipe

Would Not Recommend

Could not tighten enough to seal off a 3" pipe. We have a garage floor drain that seems to be clogged where I can't reach it with my auger. As a temporary fix I bought this test plug and I tighten the wingnut until I cannot force it any further and it can slip in and out of the pipe without any problem. Useless, unless I wrap it with tape or something.

Perfect!!

Would Recommend

I had no idea you could get a cap for a plumbed line in the basement to reduce the funky odor that comes from below. I asked a clerk at Lowes if he'd recommend anything and he led me to this handy product. Sometimes it really is the small things! This little item made a BIG difference in my basement. And it locks in tight so my dogs can't drop tennis balls where they shouldn't go! Super happy with this!
