The hollow core construction is standard for regular-pattern plugs of this type. Malleable iron provides the toughness needed to handle vibration and thermal cycling common in piping systems. This plug meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards, and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread requirements. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of routine pipe assembly and system capping work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plug is suited for use in residential and commercial piping applications where a threaded pipe end must be sealed. It is commonly installed in gas, water, and general-purpose black iron piping systems. The square head profile accepts a wrench for positive tightening without the risk of rounding that can occur with smaller recessed-drive plugs. Sold individually, it is a standard component in mechanical and plumbing rough-in work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction resists cracking under vibration and temperature changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare head drive accepts a standard open-end or adjustable wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHollow core regular-pattern design for consistent thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliant with Federal Specification WW-P-471-B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3\/8-inch NPT threaded black iron piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working under IPC or IFGC code requirements depending on the service. Shut off system pressure and verify the line is depressurized before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation. Tighten with a wrench to achieve a leak-free seal without over-torquing the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 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 (Regular Pattern)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: Federal Spec WW-P-471-B, ANSI B-16.14, ANSI B-2.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700159208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342903705906,"sku":"8700159208","price":20.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547600.jpg?v=1782010123","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-8700159208-black-iron-square-head-pipe-plug-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
