Value Collection 13382 Countersunk Hex Plug 1/2 in Malleable Iron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13382 is a countersunk hex plug designed to seal threaded pipe openings in low-pressure piping systems. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, this plug meets Class 150 standards and carries a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi. The countersunk hex drive allows flush or near-flush installation where a protruding square head would interfere with clearances. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these plugs to cap unused branch tees, cross fittings, and manifold ports in both gas and water distribution systems.

This plug is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where threaded malleable iron fittings are standard. Typical uses include capping open ports on gas manifolds, hydronic heating systems, compressed air lines, and water supply assemblies. The black finish is consistent with standard black iron pipe commonly used in natural gas and propane distribution. Sold in a package quantity of 5, it is a practical addition to a service van or shop inventory for routine fitting work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded plug. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before hand-tightening, then wrench-tighten to achieve a leak-free seal. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
