Midland Industries 44676LF Square Head Plug 1-1/4 Mpt Bronze

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 44676LF is a solid square head plug designed to close off pipe ends in pressurized plumbing and water distribution systems. Machined from lead-free bronze, this plug uses a 1-1/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection with a 1-1/4-11-1/2 thread form and is rated for 125 lb pressure class service. At 0.57 pounds, the fitting is compact and durable, measuring 1.6 inches in length and 1.6 inches in width. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this plug in new construction, repair, and maintenance work where a threaded port needs to be capped and sealed.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial potable water systems, irrigation lines, and general plumbing service applications. The lead-free bronze construction meets requirements for drinking water contact applications. It is typically installed at the end of a threaded branch, test port, or dead-end run during system commissioning or when a future connection is deferred. The square head profile provides positive engagement with a wrench for reliable makeup torque without rounding.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off system water supply and relieve line pressure before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench on the square head and bring the fitting to full thread engagement without stressing the mating fitting or pipe.
