Midland Industries 44678LF Square Head Plug 2in Mpt Bronze

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 44678LF is a solid square head plug designed to terminate open pipe ends in pressurized plumbing and water distribution systems. Machined from lead-free bronze, this plug features a 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection with a 2-11/2 thread specification and is rated for 125 lb pressure class service. At 1.265 pounds and compact in profile, it installs quickly with a standard wrench and provides a durable, corrosion-resistant seal. It meets multiple dimensional and performance standards, making it a reliable choice for potable water, commercial plumbing, and municipal service line applications.

This plug is used wherever a threaded pipe end requires a secure, leak-proof closure in residential, commercial, or light municipal plumbing systems. Typical applications include capping unused branch outlets, isolating sections of a distribution system during service, and terminating supply lines in water meter and service line assemblies. Its lead-free bronze construction makes it appropriate for potable water contact applications where regulatory compliance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement. Do not overtighten; use a wrench on the square head only and avoid applying torque to the pipe body.
