Camco Brass Blow-Out Plug for 1 Inch Diameter Water Lines, Winterizing Plug (36153)
The Camco Brass Blow-Out Plug (36153) clears water lines completely for winterizing, helping prevent frozen pipes and the costly damage that comes with them. Built from sturdy brass, the plug screws directly into the city water inlet so a standard blow-out pump can force compressed air through the plumbing system, pushing out residual water before antifreeze is added. Removing standing water from the lines first means less antifreeze is needed overall and reduces the risk of ice forming in sections that would otherwise stay wet through the cold months.
The plug is sized for use with 1 inch diameter drains and connects using a Schrader valve, the same style found on most tire inflators, so it works with common air compressors without needing a specialty adapter. To use it, screw the blow-out plug into the city water inlet, open all drains and faucets, then attach and activate an air pump until all lines run clear. It is a straightforward, one-piece tool intended for seasonal winterizing and dewinterizing rather than permanent installation.
