Anderson Metals 756121-02 Hex Plug 1/8-27 Mnpt Brass

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756121-02 is a hex plug fitting machined from lead free brass for use in pipe systems requiring a reliable, pressure-rated threaded closure. Sized with a 1/8-27 MNPT male thread, this plug seals open pipe ends or ports and is rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure. Its lead free construction meets requirements for potable water contact. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this type of fitting during system assembly, modification, or service to cap unused outlets on manifolds, valves, and pipe assemblies.

This hex plug is suitable for residential and light commercial piping applications. Approved media include potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas. The MNPT thread engages directly with female NPT ports on valves, manifolds, and fittings. The hex head profile accepts a standard wrench for installation torque without marring the fitting. It is a compact, low-profile solution for plugging 1/8-inch pipe ports in gas train assemblies, water distribution systems, and lubrication lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter depending on the media involved. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any pipe plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads before engagement; do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force. Gas system work must comply with applicable local codes and the IFGC or IPC as adopted in the jurisdiction.
