PlumbingStore.com - FAQS


Wassi water stopper"How long are the cables?"
Wassi water stopperThe overall length is 20 inches, however the cable should only extend into the pipe approximately 12" to protect the plastic handle from coming into contact with the torch flame.

water stopper"Why do you caution against pressure buildup if water is just trickling out of the pipe?"
water stopperWhen the trickle is flowing free, there is no pressure. When it is plugged off, pressure will increase until it's equal to the supply pressure. The smaller the pipe, the faster the pressure will increase. Have everything ready to solder before you close the plug.

Wassi water stopper"Why does the expansion seal (plug) need to be at least 6 inches from the solder joint?"
Wassi water stopperThe plug should be at least 6 inches from the solder joint in order to prevent it from melting.

water stopper"My water is flowing more than a trickle. Will the Wassi water stopper halt the flowing water?"
water stopperIt will for only a brief period of time. Pressure will build against the plug and eventually push it out with great force.

water stopper"How can I reduce the chance of pressure buildup against the plug?"
water stopperIf there is a faucet, hose bibb, or any other way to release water/pressure between the seeping shut off valve and the plug, you can open it to keep pressure from building. If not, extreme caution should be taken.
