Asc 8700160008 Malleable Iron Galvanized Plug 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700160008 is a 1-1/4 inch malleable iron galvanized plug designed to close off pipe ends and fittings in threaded piping systems. Built with a hollow core regular plug design, this fitting provides a secure, leak-resistant seal on NPT-threaded openings. The galvanized finish adds corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in wet or damp environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of plug during pressure testing, system commissioning, or to permanently cap unused branch outlets. Compliance with Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards confirms consistent thread engagement and dimensional accuracy across the fitting.

This plug is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications where a threaded close-off fitting is required. The 1-1/4 inch NPT thread size fits a wide range of standard pipe fittings and valves used in water supply, hydronic heating, and related systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in both new construction and retrofit work. The malleable iron construction handles the moderate pressures and temperatures typical of these applications without distortion under wrench load.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to impact during installation
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet and damp service environments
• Hollow core regular plug design for standard threaded pipe closing applications
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B for ferrous plugs, bushings, and locknuts
• Dimensionally compliant with ANSI B-16.14 and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards
• Sold individually, no minimum order beyond one unit required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a pipe wrench or appropriate drive tool. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per local plumbing code requirements before engaging the fitting. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as cracking can occur if excessive force is applied.
