Anderson Metals 756123-0806 Hex Plug Mnpt 1000 Psi

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756123-0806 is a male-threaded hex plug designed to close off pipe ends in pressurized fluid and gas systems. Machined to MNPT thread standards with a 1/2-14 male thread on one end and a 3/8-18 male thread on the other, this hex plug is rated for up to 1,000 psi maximum working pressure. The hex body allows for wrench engagement during installation, ensuring a secure, leak-free seal. Certified lead free, it is suitable for use in potable water lines as well as fuel, grease, and LP and natural gas service. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This hex plug is used to terminate or cap threaded pipe lines in a wide range of trade applications. Approved for use with potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas systems, it fits cleanly into existing MNPT-threaded fittings and valve ports. Its dual-size male thread configuration — 1/2-14 on the larger end and 3/8-18 on the smaller end — makes it useful where reducing or transition plug arrangements are required at pipe terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements for gas and water systems. Shut off system pressure and isolate the line before threading in the plug. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads prior to installation. Do not overtighten — use wrench engagement at the hex body and confirm no leaks under system pressure before returning service.
