Midland Industries 62653B 1/2 Inch Mpt Ss Pipe Plug

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 62653B is a square head pipe plug designed to seal threaded pipe openings in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Machined from 304 stainless steel, this fitting offers solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposure, and outdoor environments. The 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection conforms to standard 150-pound pressure class fitting dimensions. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of plug to cap off unused branch openings, pressure test ports, and distribution manifold outlets.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications as well as industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance is required. The 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for water, mild chemical, and general-purpose gas or fluid service lines. The square head drive profile allows for positive wrench engagement, which is practical in tight or hard-to-reach locations on manifolds and valve bodies. It is rated within the 150-pound fitting class, consistent with standard low-to-medium pressure service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the line before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before tightening. Use a properly sized wrench on the square head to avoid rounding the drive surfaces.
