At 150 psi pressure rating and built to ISO standards, this plug is suited for systems where corrosion resistance and reliable sealing are critical. The 316 stainless steel construction offers superior resistance to chlorides and acidic media compared to 304 SS, making it a common choice in chemical, marine, food processing, and industrial piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when terminating or capping lines during system assembly, testing, or service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex plug is used in both commercial and industrial piping applications where a threaded, pressure-rated closure is required. The MNPT end connection allows for direct installation into a female NPT threaded port or pipe end. Its hex head design accepts a standard wrench for proper torque application, making installation straightforward in tight spaces. Typical applications include process piping, fluid distribution manifolds, plumbing stub-outs, and hydraulic or pneumatic test points where a durable stainless plug is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for strong resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2-inch MNPT threaded end connection for direct engagement with female NPT fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head design allows wrench tightening for a secure, leak-resistant seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ISO standards for dimensional consistency and quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact body at 1-11\/16 inches in length for use in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded pipe fitting compatible with standard 2-1\/2-inch female NPT threaded ports and pipe ends in 150-class piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the media and pressure involved. Do not over-tighten; use only the hex head with a properly sized wrench to avoid damaging the 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: 2-1\/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\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT (Male National Pipe Thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11\/16 inches\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: 1.55 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-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542376710450,"sku":"K617H-40","price":77.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a52762b4fdcba8699d84823f676e2976_7913af4e-8fdb-4cc2-a614-4c7be31c7a2f.jpg?v=1785898996","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-k617h-40-hex-plug-2-1-2-in-316-ss-mnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
