Rated at Class 125 with a pressure rating of 125 psi, this plug uses MNPT x FNPT threaded connections for reliable sealing. The countersunk head profile sits flush or below the surface of the fitting, making it well suited for installations where a low-profile closure is required. Constructed from lead free brass, it meets lead free compliance standards appropriate for potable water and general service applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a permanent or temporary pipe termination point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plug is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever a 1\/8 inch threaded pipe port needs to be sealed. Common applications include capping unused branch tee outlets, plugging test ports, and closing off instrument or gauge connections on water, air, or gas distribution piping. The threaded MNPT x FNPT interface allows hand-tight starting followed by wrench tightening for a pressure-rated seal. Its compact 1\/8 inch fitting size makes it a standard item for service technicians carrying assorted brass fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCountersunk head profile for flush or recessed installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating at 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead free brass construction suitable for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMNPT x FNPT threaded connection for standard pipe thread fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch fitting size for small-diameter port closures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.08 pounds per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for 1\/8 inch NPT threaded pipe ports in Class 125 plumbing and piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the affected line before removing or installing any threaded pipe plug.
