Value Collection 16011 Mnpt Hex Plug Pipe Fitting 2 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16011 is an industrial hex plug with a male NPT (MNPT) connection type, designed to close off open pipe ends in fluid and gas distribution systems. Hex plugs of this configuration are installed to seal unused ports, branch outlets, or pipe ends during system service, testing, or permanent termination. The external hex head allows for standard wrench engagement, making installation and removal straightforward in tight or congested pipe runs. This fitting is sold as a 2-piece pack and is suited for use by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians working on threaded pipe systems.

MNPT hex plugs are commonly used in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping applications where a threaded male fitting is needed to seal a female-threaded port or tee outlet. Typical installation scenarios include capping unused outlets on manifolds, closing off pipe branches during phased system construction, and securing test ports after pressure checks. This pack of two provides immediate backup hardware for service calls or multi-port jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the fluid or gas being conveyed. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded plug. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads prior to installation. Do not overtighten; use a wrench on the hex head only and avoid pipe wrenches on the plug body where surface damage could compromise the seal.
