Asc Engineered Solutions 8700159901 Galvanized Pipe Plug

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700159901 is a 3/4-inch malleable iron galvanized pipe plug designed to seal threaded pipe ends and openings in piping systems. The hollow-core regular plug design threads into female-threaded fittings to close off a line or port. Constructed from galvanized malleable iron, this plug resists corrosion and handles the mechanical stress common in commercial and residential plumbing and HVAC piping installations. It is sold as an individual unit and is a standard component stocked by plumbing and mechanical contractors for routine service, repair, and new construction work.

This plug is suited for use in low-pressure water, gas, and general-purpose piping systems where a threaded closure is required. The 3/4-inch NPT thread size fits standard pipe fittings of the same size. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters during system commissioning, pressure testing, or when capping unused branch connections. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor piping applications where moisture exposure is a factor.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical impact
• Galvanized finish adds corrosion protection for wet or outdoor environments
• Hollow-core regular plug design for standard threaded pipe closure
• Meets ANSI B-16.14 dimensional standards for threaded fittings
• Complies with ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specifications
• Conforms to Federal Specification WW-P-471-B

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use threaded plug for 3/4-inch NPT female-threaded pipe fittings in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a pipe wrench or appropriate drive tool matched to the plug head. Shut off and depressurize the system before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads in accordance with local plumbing code requirements before tightening. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
