Anderson Metals Corp 738109-12 Brass Pipe Plug 3/4 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738109-12 is a 3/4-inch rough brass pipe plug designed to seal threaded pipe openings in plumbing systems. Manufactured as a cored cast fitting, it provides a secure, pressure-resistant closure for male NPT threaded ports. This plug meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, system modifications, and repair work where an unused port must be capped off cleanly and permanently.

This pipe plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a threaded brass fitting is required to terminate or temporarily block a pipe end. Typical install scenarios include capping off test ports, unused tee branches, and manifold outlets. The rough brass finish is standard for concealed or non-decorative installations where surface appearance is not a factor. Sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units per pack.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation. Tighten to hand-tight plus wrench turns as required to achieve a leak-free seal without over-stressing the fitting body.
