Asc Engineered Solutions 8700159505 Black Iron Pipe Plug 2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700159505 is a 2-inch malleable black iron square head pipe plug designed to seal threaded pipe ends in plumbing, piping, and mechanical systems. The hollow core design is standard for regular-pattern plugs and keeps weight low while maintaining structural integrity. At 0.94 pounds, this plug meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and dimensional standard ANSI B-16.14, with threads conforming to ANSI B-2.1. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this fitting to cap off unused branch outlets or temporarily close pipe runs during pressure testing and system commissioning.

This square head plug is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where a wrench-driven, recessed-socket-free closure is preferred. The square drive head allows for straightforward tightening and removal with a standard wrench. It is commonly installed in water supply, gas distribution, and steam or hydronic heating systems where malleable iron fittings are specified. The black iron finish is standard for gas piping installations per applicable codes.
