Value Collection C536144 Hex Plug Mnpt Pipe Fitting

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C536144 is a hex plug with a male NPT (MNPT) connection, used to cap or close off pipe openings in industrial piping systems. The external hex head allows for installation and removal with a standard wrench, providing a secure, leak-resistant seal at an open pipe end or port. This fitting is suited for general-purpose pipe work across plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters as part of routine system maintenance, pressure testing, or system modifications.

This hex plug is appropriate for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded pipe end requires capping. Common applications include closing off unused branch lines, test ports, and service connections. The MNPT thread pattern conforms to standard American National Pipe Thread specifications, making it compatible with standard NPT-threaded fittings and pipe ends across a wide range of system types.

Key Features

• Male NPT (MNPT) thread for secure engagement with standard NPT-threaded pipe openings
• Hex head design allows installation and removal with a wrench for positive torque control
• Compact form factor suited for tight spaces and close-quarters piping assemblies
• General-purpose construction for use in a variety of pipe systems and media types

Compatibility

Designed as a standard MNPT hex plug for use with NPT-threaded pipe systems in industrial, commercial, and residential plumbing and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe system before installing or removing any threaded plug. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before installation to ensure a leak-free seal. Do not overtighten, as this can damage internal threads in the mating fitting or pipe.
