Asc Engineered Solutions 8700159604 3 in Square Head Pipe Plug

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700159604 is a 3-inch square head pipe plug designed for closing off threaded pipe ends in pressurized fluid and gas piping systems. The cored square head design accepts a standard socket or wrench for installation and removal, making it a practical choice for maintenance and service work. Rated at 150 lb class, this plug is finished in black and is domestically produced. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install these plugs in commercial and industrial piping systems where a reliable, removable pipe closure is required.

This plug is suited for use in 150 lb class threaded pipe assemblies across residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. Common installation scenarios include capping unused branch outlets, temporarily or permanently closing off pipe tees, and completing final terminations in gas and water distribution lines. The 3-inch thread size makes it applicable to larger-diameter pipe runs where a robust, all-thread closure is needed.

Key Features

• 3-inch thread size for larger-diameter pipe terminations
• Square head, cored design for socket or wrench drive installation
• 150 lb pressure class rating for standard threaded pipe systems
• Black finish for identification and corrosion resistance in appropriate service environments
• Domestic production for consistent quality and traceability
• Sold as individual unit (EA) for precise purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for 150 lb class threaded pipe systems requiring a 3-inch square head plug closure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any pipe plug. Use a properly sized socket or pipe wrench on the square head drive; apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads as required by the service medium and local code. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the fitting or the receiving threaded connection.
