Parker L216P-8 Brass Hex Plug 1/2 in Mnptf 1000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER L216P-8 is a brass hex plug designed to seal pipe thread openings in industrial and plumbing systems. Threaded with a 1/2 inch MNPTF male connection, it provides a pressure-rated, leak-resistant closure on female-threaded ports and fittings. With a maximum working pressure of 1000 psi and an operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this plug handles demanding service conditions. Constructed from lead-free brass, it meets requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in water, hydraulic, and general-purpose piping systems.

The L216P-8 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping installations where a standard 1/2 inch female-threaded port needs to be capped or temporarily blocked. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for use in potable water lines. The hex body allows installation with a standard open-end or adjustable wrench, making it a straightforward addition to any service call or new installation where unused ports require sealing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any pipe plug. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads per local code requirements before torquing into place. Do not over-tighten brass fittings, as this can crack the hex body or damage the mating threads.
