Machined from 316 stainless steel, it offers strong resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and chloride-rich environments. The male NPT (MNPT) thread connection seats securely into any standard female NPT port. Rated at 150 psi, this plug is well suited for piping systems that carry water, mild chemicals, or process fluids where material integrity is critical. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting during system commissioning, pressure testing, or line isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex plug is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping applications where a threaded pipe end must be sealed. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it a preferred choice for corrosive or sanitary environments, including food service, chemical processing, marine installations, and coastal plumbing systems. The hex head profile allows standard wrench engagement for reliable installation torque without the need for specialty tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for corrosion and oxidation resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch MNPT threaded connection for standard pipe fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head drive allows engagement with standard open-end or adjustable wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ISO standards for dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, single-piece design with no internal components to fail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1\/4 inch female NPT threaded pipe ports in 150-class threaded piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters working under applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fitting or installing this plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before seating to ensure a pressure-tight connection. Do not overtighten — use a wrench on the hex flats only; do not use pipe wrenches on the hex body faces.\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\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 Stainless Steel\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\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.55 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\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: K617H-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540943208754,"sku":"K617H-20","price":32.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1bb4a96a0d42c5121b8d3c87a004a33e.jpg?v=1785866262","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k617h-20-pipe-hex-plug-1-1-4-in-316-ss-mnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
