Value Collection 15461 Pvc Hex Plug 3/4 in Mipt Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 15461 is a 3/4 inch Schedule 80 PVC hex plug with male iron pipe thread (MIPT) ends, used to terminate or cap off threaded pipe openings in pressurized or non-pressurized piping systems. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 fittings, making it suitable for demanding plumbing and industrial fluid handling applications. The hex head design allows for installation and removal with a standard wrench or socket, ensuring a secure, leak-free seal. This item is sold in a package of 5 plugs.

This hex plug is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, irrigation lines, chemical distribution piping, and industrial fluid transfer applications where a threaded pipe end must be capped or temporarily closed. The MIPT thread pattern is compatible with standard NPT female-threaded fittings and pipe ends. Schedule 80 PVC is commonly specified where elevated pressure ratings or greater durability are required compared to standard Schedule 40 components. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction, system modification, and maintenance work.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure rating versus Schedule 40

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems using 3/4 inch NPT female connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the piping system before installing or removing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIPT threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for final tightening — avoid over-torquing PVC threaded fittings to prevent cracking.
