Anderson Metals 756123-0604 Hex Plug 3/8-18 X 1/4-18 Mnpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756123-0604 is a male NPT hex plug fitting designed to close off or reduce threaded pipe connections in fluid and gas distribution systems. It features a 3/8-18 male thread on one end and a 1/4-18 male thread on the other, both conforming to the MNPT standard, allowing it to serve as a reducer plug in a single fitting. Rated to 1,000 psi maximum working pressure, this hex plug is built for demanding trade applications. The lead-free construction makes it compliant for use in potable water systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this fitting type.

This fitting is suited for use across a range of residential and commercial piping systems. Approved applications include potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas lines. Its hex head allows standard wrench engagement for secure installation without slippage. The compact form factor makes it useful in tight piping assemblies where a standard plug or reducer union would not fit. It is sold individually and carries no minimum order restriction beyond a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with IPC and IFGC requirements for the applicable service. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended fluid or gas service before threading the fitting into the mating connection. Hand-tighten first, then engage with a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench to achieve a leak-free seal without overtightening. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting.
