Machined from brass with a rough finish, this plug is designed to seal threaded pipe openings in low- to medium-pressure plumbing and fluid-handling systems. The square head drive profile allows easy installation and removal with a standard wrench. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of plug to cap off unused branch connections, test ports, and pipe ends during system assembly or maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and general fluid system applications where a brass MNPT fitting is required.
