All the Plugs You Need to Winterize Your Pool
We offer a broad assortment of plugs you can use to winterize your swimming pool. All plugs are made of high-quality material and are designed to tolerate extremely cold temperatures without slipping or shrinking.
When winterizing your pool, be sure to plug the pool lines after draining the water or blowing out the pipes to make sure no extra water is left in the lines that could freeze and potentially cause damage. For more information on each type of plug, see below.
- #4 and #5 rubber plugs are compatible with 3/4-in wall returns, such as those found in gunite pools
- #9 and #10 pool plugs can be used for 1-1/2-in. threaded return fittings or skimmers
- The 1-1/2 in. threaded skimmer plug can also be used for 1-1/2 in. threaded skimmers and return fittings
- #8 and #9 pool plugs can be used for non-threaded 1-1/2 in. pipes
- #11 and #12 winter plugs are compatible with 2-in. pipes
