Metalwork Stainless Steel 316 Pipe Fitting 1-2 NPT Male Solid Hex Head Plug 1 Pc

The hex head plug is a stainless steel 316 pipe fitting with male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for closing the end of a female threaded pipe. The plug inserts into female pipes or fittings and connects with NPT threads, which create a tighter seal than straight threads, and it has a hexagonal head for increased leverage and use with a wrench during installation and disassembly. The plug is made of stainless steel 316, which is higher strength and corrosion resistant than stainless steel 304. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
