Anderson Metals 756114-08 Square Head Plug 1/2-14 Mnpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756114-08 is a square head pipe plug machined from lead free brass, designed to close off threaded pipe openings in plumbing, fuel, and gas distribution systems. It uses a 1/2-14 MNPT male thread for a standard tapered connection and is rated to 1,000 psi maximum working pressure. The square drive head allows installation with a standard wrench or socket without requiring specialized tooling. At 0.13 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for permanent or serviceable port closures in a wide range of piping systems.

This plug is rated for use with potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas, making it applicable across plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and light industrial piping installations. It is appropriate for both residential and commercial applications where a code-compliant, lead free brass plug is required to seal a 1/2-inch NPT female threaded port. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install this fitting during rough-in, pressure testing, and system commissioning work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC requirements.
