Midland Metal 706109-06 Pipe Plug 3/8 Inch Mpt Lead Free Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND METAL 706109-06 is a cored square head pipe plug with a 3/8-inch male NPT connection, manufactured from lead-free brass. It is designed to close off open pipe ends or ports in plumbing systems where a pressure-tight, leak-free seal is required. The lead-free brass construction meets compliance requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act, making this plug suitable for use in potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during system commissioning, pressure testing, or when permanently capping unused ports on manifolds, valves, and distribution lines.

This plug is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where NPT threaded connections are standard. It is commonly used to seal unused tee or cross outlets, pump ports, and valve body openings. The cored square head design allows installation and removal with a standard socket or wrench. At 0.8 inches in length, it fits into tight spaces without interfering with adjacent fittings or pipe runs.

• Cored square head design accepts standard socket drive for easy installation and removal
• 3/8-inch male NPT thread for direct connection to standard female NPT ports

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber using a socket wrench sized to the square head. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before installation to ensure a leak-free seal. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any pipe plug.
