Machined from brass, this plug features a 1\/2-14 male NPTF thread and is rated to 1200 psi working pressure. The cored design allows for future port access without full disassembly. At 0.81 inches in length with a 0.87-inch hex, it accepts a standard wrench for secure installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of fitting to cap or temporarily seal pipe runs during pressure testing, system commissioning, or staged construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plug is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and industrial fluid systems. Its brass construction and broad temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F make it compatible with a wide variety of service environments. The NPTF thread form creates a dry-seal connection that reduces dependence on sealant tape or compound, though best practice may still call for thread sealant depending on the fluid service and local code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-14 male NPTF thread for dry-seal, pressure-rated connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1200 psi working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCored design allows future port access without removing the fitting entirely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion in water, air, and many fluid services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.87-inch hex accepts standard wrenches for controlled installation torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe.

Shut off and depressurize the system fully before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape if required by the service medium or local code. Do not over-tighten; use the hex flats and a proper wrench rather than pliers to avoid deforming the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14 NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1200 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.81 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.87 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28204\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951677407538,"sku":"28204","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/de0435d58d83c747764ef1a06ba35c8e_a8971d1f-13e5-4d46-92d4-f722b81dd1a4.jpg?v=1791733170","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-28204-cored-hex-head-plug-1-2-in-nptf-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
