Designed to close off the end of a threaded pipe or fitting, this hex plug uses a male NPT (MNPT) threaded connection and is rated to 3,000 psi. The 1-1\/2 inch fitting size makes it well-suited for mid-to-large bore pipe runs. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of plug to cap unused branch ports, seal off test points, or permanently close threaded outlets during system assembly or repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex plug is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial piping, and process systems where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. The 304\/304L dual-grade material designation means it meets both standard and low-carbon stainless requirements, broadening its use across applications where weld-decay resistance or sanitary service conditions are a consideration. It is commonly installed in water supply, chemical transfer, and mechanical piping systems where a leak-tight threaded closure is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch MNPT threaded connection for direct engagement with female NPT ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3,000 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304\/304L stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head design allows standard wrench installation without special tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-carbon 304L grade supports use in applications requiring weld-decay resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe plug for use in any 1-1\/2 inch female NPT-threaded port or fitting in plumbing, industrial, or mechanical piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe plug. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads per applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines before torquing into the female port. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure a leak-free seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 \/ 304L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3417HD-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542762914098,"sku":"3417HD-24","price":61.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6764ba6a9ef88797f71933b8c473a29b.jpg?v=1785906644","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-3417hd-24-hex-plug-1-1-2-in-304-ss-mnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
