Value Collection 6HP1/8 Hex Pipe Plug 1/8 in Mnpt 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HP1/8 is a 1/8 inch male NPT hex pipe plug manufactured from 316 stainless steel. It is designed to seal open pipe ends and ports in piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. The threaded hex body allows installation with a standard wrench, and the 150 psi pressure rating suits a wide range of low- to moderate-pressure fluid and gas piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this fitting during system assembly, maintenance, or when capping unused branch connections.

This plug is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, process piping, and instrumentation lines. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments, including marine, chemical, and food-service adjacent applications where 304 stainless would be marginal. The 1/8 inch MNPT thread is a common size for instrument ports, gauge taps, test ports, and small branch connections on valves and manifolds.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 grade
• 1/8 inch MNPT threaded end for direct engagement with female NPT ports
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low- to moderate-pressure piping systems
• Hex head design accepts standard wrenches for controlled installation torque
• Compact size fits tight spaces on valve bodies, manifolds, and instrument ports

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/8 inch MNPT hex pipe plug for use in any female NPT-threaded pipe fitting, valve body, manifold, or equipment port rated for 150 psi or less with compatible media.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers and pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines depending on the system media. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation. De-pressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any pipe plug. Do not over-tighten stainless steel threaded fittings, as galling can occur; use a calibrated wrench and follow system design specifications for engagement turns.
