Value Collection 458-093NL Brass Pipe Plug 1/2 in Mpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 458-093NL is a 1/2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) brass pipe plug rated for Class 125 service at up to 125 psi. Built from red brass, this plug is used to close off open pipe ends in pressurized systems. The MPT thread form engages directly into female-threaded fittings, valves, or manifold ports. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of plug during system testing, line isolation, or to permanently cap unused ports. The red brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, steam, and many common fluid systems.

This plug is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, HVAC piping, and similar low-to-medium pressure applications. It is commonly installed to seal unused tee branches, manifold outlets, or equipment ports during service or reconfiguration. The 1/2-inch size is one of the most frequently encountered pipe sizes across plumbing and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

This plug is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the affected line before removing or installing any pipe plug. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the MPT threads before installation to ensure a leak-free seal. Do not overtighten, as red brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
