ABSTRACT:
A plumbing fitting serving both as a test closure and a trap bushing for a T-fitting. The test and trap fitting comprises a tubular member of circular cross section having an open end and an integrally closed end. The fitting can be inserted through an opening in a wall (if present) and into the intermediate port of a T-fitting constituting a pan of a soil pipe and a vent pipe assembly. The test and trap fitting has an outside diameter such that it is received in the intermediate port of the T-fitting with close tolerance, enabling a fluid-tight connection to be made in any appropriate manner such as by solvent welding. The test and trap fitting serves as a closure for the intermediate port of the T-fitting enabling pressure testing of the plumbing system, or the maintenance of head of water therein. The test and trap fitting can be cut substantially flush with the wall and serves as bushing to which a plumbing fixture trap can be connected in fluid-tight fashion by solvent welding and the like. The test and trap fitting can be reused until the majority of its length is consumed.
