Asc Engineered Solutions 8700160057 Galvanized Plug 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700160057 is a 1-1/2 inch malleable iron galvanized plug designed to close off threaded pipe openings in piping systems. The hollow core regular plug design threads directly into female-threaded fittings and pipe ends to seal unused ports or terminate a run. Galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. This fitting is appropriate for plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping applications and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B and dimensional standard ANSI B-16.14, with threads conforming to ANSI B-2.1.

This plug is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded port must be closed off. Typical applications include capping unused tee outlets, closing off test ports, or sealing end-of-run connections in water, air, or low-pressure gas distribution lines. The galvanized finish extends service life in moderately corrosive environments. Sold individually, it fits standard 1-1/2 inch NPT female threaded fittings and pipe couplings.

Key Features

• Hollow core regular plug design for standard NPT threaded port closure
• Malleable iron construction for strength and machinability in threaded connections
• Hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion resistance
• Meets Federal Specification WW-P-471-B for ferrous plugs and bushings
• Dimensional compliance with ANSI B-16.14 and thread compliance with ANSI B-2.1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1-1/2 inch NPT female-threaded pipe fittings in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the system type. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before hand-tightening, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
