Anvil International Inc 8700159455 Black Pipe Plug

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700159455 is a 1-1/2 inch black pipe plug used to cap or seal threaded pipe ends in piping systems. This fitting creates a secure, pressure-holding closure at open pipe terminations, preventing fluid or gas from passing through. It is a standard hardware item installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors in both residential and commercial applications. The plug is sold in packages of 25 units, making it practical for contractors who need consistent inventory for jobs requiring multiple fittings.

This plug is suited for use in black iron or steel pipe systems commonly found in gas distribution, hydronic heating, compressed air, and industrial fluid piping. Its threaded design allows for straightforward installation into any female-threaded fitting or pipe opening of the matching size. It is a go-to fitting for capping unused branches, temporary line closures, or permanent terminations during system construction or modification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a pipe wrench and appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape. Always shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing pipe plugs.
