The hollow core design keeps weight low while maintaining structural integrity for standard-pressure applications. Weighing just 0.03 pounds, this plug is sold individually and meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14 for dimensions, and ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these plugs to cap unused threaded ports on fittings, manifolds, valves, and distribution headers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and piping applications where a threaded NPT port needs to be sealed off. The square head drive makes it compatible with standard open-end or box-end wrenches, which is practical in tight installation spaces. It is commonly used in gas, water, and steam distribution piping where malleable iron fittings are the specified material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable black iron construction for durability in threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare head drive accepts standard wrench without need for a socket or specialty tool\u003c\/li\u003eHollow core design reduces material weight while meeting dimensional standards\u003cli\u003eMeets Fed.

Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded plug. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per job specifications before seating the plug. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Black Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Design\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hollow Core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fed.
