Pipe plugs of this type seal unused threaded pipe openings in fluid or gas lines, preventing leaks and keeping internal systems pressurized and contaminant-free. This fitting is a genuine Hobart replacement part, intended for service technicians performing maintenance or repair on Hobart commercial appliances. It is a small but critical component in maintaining the integrity of plumbing circuits within commercial kitchen equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pipe plug is used in commercial foodservice settings where Hobart equipment is installed, including restaurants, institutional kitchens, and food processing facilities. It is typically installed during service calls when an existing plug is damaged, missing, or being replaced as part of a broader repair. Technicians working on Hobart dishwashers, mixers, or other plumbing-connected equipment may encounter this fitting at unused branch ports on water or drain lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch pipe thread size suits common branch port openings in commercial equipment plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Hobart replacement part ensures proper thread form and fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeals unused threaded openings to prevent leaks and maintain system pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact design allows installation in tight equipment interiors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement pipe plug for Hobart commercial foodservice equipment requiring a 3\/8-inch threaded pipe fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified service technician familiar with commercial foodservice equipment plumbing. Before replacing any pipe plug, shut off the water supply and depressurize the line to avoid injury or equipment damage. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the line type before threading the plug in by hand, then tighten with a wrench to snug fit without over-torquing the fitting. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and the equipment manufacturer's service documentation throughout the repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch pipe thread\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HOBART\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: pl-003-52\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOBART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51207326728498,"sku":"PL-003-52","price":39.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307156690.jpg?v=1779727028","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hobart-pl-003-52-pipe-plug-3-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
