Value Collection 6HP3/8 Hex Pipe Plug 3/8 Inch 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HP3/8 is a 3/8 inch male NPT hex pipe plug manufactured from 316 stainless steel. This plug is used to close off or cap threaded pipe openings in fluid or gas distribution systems. The hex head design allows installation with standard wrenches or sockets for a secure, leak-resistant seal. Rated at 150 psi, it is suited for low- to medium-pressure service across a range of industrial and mechanical piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these plugs during system assembly, pressure testing, or maintenance when a port or outlet requires permanent or temporary closure.

This plug fits standard 3/8 inch MNPT threaded pipe and fittings found in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, compressed air lines, and industrial process piping. The 316 stainless steel construction provides improved corrosion resistance compared to 304 SS, making it a practical choice in mildly corrosive environments or where exposure to moisture, chlorides, or chemicals is a concern. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 4 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC codes for the system type. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded plug. Apply thread sealant tape or compound appropriate for the system fluid or gas to the male threads before installation. Do not overtighten — snug plus one to two turns past hand-tight is standard practice for NPT fittings.
