Dixon Valve Coupling 1760202C Brass Hex Plug 1/8 in Mnpsm

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING 1760202C is a brass hex plug designed to cap off or seal a 1/8 inch NPSM male-threaded pipe port. Rated to 1,000 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding industrial plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer applications where a secure, leak-free termination is required. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation and removal. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians commonly install this type of plug when blanking unused ports on manifolds, valves, or distribution lines.

This plug is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where NPSM straight-thread connections are specified. It is appropriate for pneumatic lines, hydraulic systems, fuel lines, and general fluid handling where brass construction and high-pressure ratings are required. The compact 1/8 inch thread size makes it a common fit for instrumentation ports, gauge taps, and small-bore distribution headers.

Key Features

• 1,000 psi maximum working pressure rating for demanding fluid and pneumatic systems
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet and pressurized environments
• MNPSM connection type with 1/8 inch male thread for precise, secure port termination
• Hex body design allows wrench engagement for proper torque and leak-free seating
• Compact form factor suitable for instrumentation ports and small-bore pipe applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental fitting for industrial piping systems using 1/8 inch NPSM straight-thread ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any pipe plug. Use a properly sized wrench on the hex body to achieve a snug fit without overtightening, which can damage the threads or fitting seat. Do not use pipe thread sealant intended for tapered threads on NPSM straight-thread fittings unless the sealant is rated for straight-thread applications.
