It features male NPT (MNPT) external threads that engage female NPT (FNPT) port openings, providing a secure, leak-resistant mechanical seal. Rated at 125 psi, this plug is suitable for low- to medium-pressure plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and general industrial piping applications. The square head profile accepts a standard wrench for installation and removal. At 3\/8 inch fitting size and 0.06 pounds, it is a compact, all-brass construction component appropriate for licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on threaded pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plug is commonly used to cap unused branch outlets, test ports, or service openings in residential and light commercial plumbing and heating systems. Typical applications include capping off tees, manifold ports, and distribution headers where a threaded brass closure is required. The 3\/8 inch MNPT thread size fits standard NPT-threaded female ports of the same nominal size. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 6 units, making it well-suited for stocking on service vehicles or in shop inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare head design allows wrench-tightening for secure installation and easy field removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch MNPT threaded connection engages standard FNPT female ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating at 125 psi for low- to medium-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll-brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and compatible fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy handling and inventory stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded brass pipe plug for use in standard NPT-threaded plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and general piping systems requiring a 3\/8 inch Class 125 closure fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads per the applicable plumbing code, such as the IPC or IFGC, before engagement. Do not overtighten; use a properly sized wrench on the square head to achieve a firm, leak-free fit without stressing the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square Head Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\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: 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: X117A-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542858072370,"sku":"X117A-06","price":67.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a82eace962f1bece21cd354b022f38a2.jpg?v=1785909221","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-x117a-06-brass-square-head-plug-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
