Value Collection 6HP1/4 Hex Pipe Plug 1/4 Inch Mnpt 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HP1/4 is a 1/4 inch male NPT hex pipe plug machined from 316 stainless steel. It is used to seal threaded pipe openings in fluid and gas distribution systems. The hex head allows installation and removal with a standard wrench, and the MNPT thread form provides a secure, tapered mechanical seal. Rated to 150 psi, this plug suits a wide range of low- to moderate-pressure piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during system assembly, pressure testing, and port capping work.

This hex plug is suitable for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial fluid handling systems where a threaded pipe end must be closed off. Its 316 stainless steel construction offers improved corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 stainless, making it appropriate for installations exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor environments. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 4 units.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• MNPT (male national pipe taper) thread for a leak-resistant tapered seal
• Hex head drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets for controlled installation
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low- to moderate-pressure systems
• 1/4 inch fitting size for common small-bore pipe and port applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe plug for 1/4 inch NPT female-threaded pipe ends, fittings, and equipment ports in standard plumbing and piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and ASME B1.20.1 NPT thread standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before installing or removing any pipe plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before hand-tightening, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten tapered NPT threads, as this can crack fittings or distort the thread form. Pressure-test the assembly after installation to confirm a leak-free seal.
