Machined from 316 stainless steel, this plug connects via a male NPT (MNPT) threaded end and is rated to 150 psi. At 1-1\/2 inches fitting size, it is sized for medium-diameter pipe runs commonly found in industrial, commercial, and process piping installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when terminating or temporarily sealing a threaded pipe branch or port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex plug is suited for applications where 316 stainless steel is required for resistance to chlorides, mild acids, and general corrosion in wet or chemical-exposed environments. Typical install scenarios include process piping, fluid handling systems, marine environments, food-service or sanitary adjacent plumbing, and commercial mechanical rooms. The hex head allows for standard wrench engagement during installation and removal, making it practical in tight or high-cycle service locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT threaded connection for direct engagement with female NPT fittings and threaded pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating for standard-duty piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch fitting size covers medium-diameter pipe terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head design allows wrench installation and removal without marring the fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ISO standards for dimensional and performance consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe fitting replacement compatible with standard 1-1\/2 inch female NPT threaded pipe and fittings in 150-class piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads before engagement to prevent leaks. Do not over-torque stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur between mating stainless threads.\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\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: 0.85 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-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543244603698,"sku":"K617H-24","price":37.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8734818bcac87f81e9be3c642b9c71f5.jpg?v=1785916748","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k617h-24-hex-plug-1-1-2-in-316-ss-mnpt-150-psi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
