Penn Machine 5000601401 Hex Head Plug 3 in Mnpt 6000 Lb

Product Description

The PENN MACHINE 5000601401 is a forged carbon steel hex head pipe plug rated for 6000 lb pressure service in high-pressure piping systems. Sized at 3 inches nominal with a male NPT (MNPT) end style and a 3-5/8 inch hex drive, this plug is built to seal threaded pipe ends in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured to XXH (extra-extra-heavy) schedule rating, it meets rigorous dimensional and pressure standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial mechanical contractors install this type of plug during pressure testing, system isolation, and permanent line termination where standard-duty fittings are not acceptable.

This plug is suited for high-pressure piping installations in industrial facilities, commercial mechanical rooms, and process piping systems. Its MNPT thread pattern allows direct engagement into female-threaded fittings and pipe ends conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. The 6000 lb pressure class and XXH rating make it appropriate for hydraulic, steam, gas, and high-pressure fluid service lines where lower-rated fittings would not meet design requirements. Pennsylvania Machine Works produces this plug under their Series 06014 line.

Key Features

• 3-inch nominal MNPT thread for direct engagement into female-threaded pipe ends
• 6000 lb pressure class rating suitable for high-pressure fluid and gas service
• XXH schedule rating for extra-extra-heavy wall applications
• Forged carbon steel construction for superior strength and pressure integrity
• 3-5/8 inch hex drive for positive wrench engagement during installation and removal
• Certified to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.11, and ASTM A105 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for 3-inch MNPT female-threaded connections in high-pressure piping systems conforming to ASME B16.11 forged fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers working on high-pressure piping systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure class before threading the plug into the female fitting. Torque to the fitting system requirements per applicable ASME or facility piping codes — do not over-torque forged fittings without reference to the engineering specification for the system.
