Cantex 5315260 3" PVC Plug Fitting

The Cantex 5315260 is a 3" PVC plug fitting engineered to cap and seal unused conduit openings in electrical raceway systems. Manufactured from rigid PVC, this plug fitting is designed to provide a dependable, corrosion-resistant seal wherever an open conduit run, coupling, or fitting needs to be closed off. As part of the broader Cantex PVC conduit fitting line, the 5315260 plug is sized for direct use with 3" Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit systems, making it a practical solution for electricians and contractors who need to terminate or temporarily seal conduit runs during rough-in, renovation, or system modification work. PVC construction means this plug fitting resists moisture, corrosion, and chemical exposure far better than metallic alternatives, which is why PVC conduit accessories like this one are a mainstay in underground, wet-location, and corrosive-environment installations. The 5315260 plug is a simple but essential component — every conduit system eventually has a stub, spare, or abandoned run that needs a clean, code-conscious termination, and a properly sized PVC plug is the straightforward way to close that opening without introducing a weak point into the system. Because it shares the same PVC composition as the conduit and fittings it pairs with, the 5315260 plug can be solvent-welded in place for a permanent, watertight seal consistent with standard PVC conduit assembly practices.

Cantex 5315260 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Cantex PVC conduit plug come in?
Four trade sizes: 3 inch (MPN 5315260), 4 inch (5315262), 5 inch (5315263) and 6 inch (5315264). Size the plug to the conduit's trade size, not to a measured outside diameter, and order by the MPN that matches the run you are closing off.
2) Will a Cantex PVC plug work in Schedule 80 conduit or only Schedule 40?
Both. The plug is sized for direct use with Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit systems of the same trade size, since PVC conduit holds a common outside diameter across both schedules and the plug seats on that socket dimension.
3) How do you install a PVC conduit plug, and is the seal permanent?
It solvent-welds in place like any other PVC conduit fitting. Clean the socket, apply PVC conduit cement, seat the plug and let it set. That gives a permanent watertight seal. If you want the opening reopenable later, a solvent weld is the wrong choice, because cutting the fitting out is the only way back.
4) Is a PVC plug suitable for direct-burial and wet-location conduit runs?
Yes. Rigid PVC resists moisture, corrosion and chemical exposure, which is why these plugs are used on underground, direct-burial and wet-location runs where a metallic plug would corrode. Solvent-welded, the seal keeps water out of the abandoned or spare run.
5) Should I use a conduit plug or a cap to close off a spare conduit stub?
A plug seats into the female socket of a coupling, bell end or fitting, closing the opening from the inside. A cap goes over the male outside of a conduit end. If your spare run terminates in a coupling or a belled socket, the plug is the right part; if it is a plain pipe end sticking up, you want a cap sized to the same trade size instead.
6) Will a Cantex PVC plug bond to another manufacturer's PVC conduit?
It shares the same rigid PVC composition as standard PVC conduit and fittings, so it solvent-welds with standard PVC conduit cement on a trade-size match. What matters is that the mating fitting is PVC and the same trade size; it will not bond to metallic conduit or to HDPE.
7) Can I use a Cantex PVC plug to seal a conduit during rough-in and open it later?
For a temporary seal during rough-in or renovation, set the plug dry (no cement) so it can be pulled when you are ready to pull wire or extend the run. Reserve the solvent weld for runs you intend to abandon permanently.
