Winterization Plugs

[enoshixi]

I am quickly approaching winterization time. The plugs I have been using are getting old and brittle, several have started to crack. I'd like to replace the whole lot of them, and would prefer to find them online but am having trouble finding similiar ones. They are plastic, threaded, and fit flush to the openings. There are no o-rings or anything, but I do use teflon tape. The smaller ones are for the returns and the bigger ones for the skimmer.

Everything I find looks more like this: https://www.amazon.com/Swimline-Threaded-Pool-Return-Line/dp/B002ZJ1K9O, which it seems like would work fine for the returns but would be too small for the skimmers.

Any suggestions?

Google pool winterizing plugs, they will be black and threaded with a nut on the other end. Very useful for closings.

Do those work in threaded ports? I always assumed they were for non-threaded.

Yes, black winter plugs are the most common as they create a tight seal and do not leak. The plugs expand. Make sure they are flush as well.

I only use black threaded plugs here.
