The plug features a male NPT (MNPT) external thread on the body and a female NPT (FNPT) internal thread at the hex head, allowing it to accept a test gauge or secondary connection while still sealing the line. It carries a pressure rating of 1,000 psi, making it suitable for moderate-pressure fluid and gas piping systems. A nickel-plated finish provides added corrosion resistance over bare brass. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this plug when capping off branches, plugging test ports, or closing unused tee outlets during system buildout or maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex plug is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and similar low-to-moderate-pressure piping applications. The 1\/2-inch NPT size is one of the most common thread sizes encountered in residential pipe runs, hydronic manifolds, and HVAC equipment connections. The hex head allows engagement with a standard open-end or adjustable wrench for proper installation torque without slipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch MNPT x FNPT end connections for threaded pipe installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1,000 psi pressure rating suitable for moderate-pressure systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in wet service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head design accepts standard open-end or adjustable wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-purpose design caps the line while retaining an internal female thread for gauge or fitting access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/2-inch NPT threaded plug compatible with brass, copper, steel, and other NPT-threaded pipe systems rated within the 1,000 psi working pressure limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or qualified HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the affected pipe section before removing any existing fittings or installing this plug. Apply an appropriate thread sealant tape or paste to the male threads prior to installation. Do not overtighten; hand-snug and then wrench-tighten to seat the threads without cracking the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: MNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nickel Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PC122NB-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736280138034,"sku":"PC122NB-8","price":16.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/06219eba6c048051bc7019cf457cc96f.jpg?v=1788776965","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-pc122nb-8-brass-hex-pipe-plug-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
