Square Head Solid Plug Construction
A square head solid plug uses external male threads to close a compatible female-threaded opening. The square head provides flat wrenching surfaces for tightening or removal during installation and maintenance.
The solid construction distinguishes this fitting from a cored plug while retaining the same primary function of closing an unused threaded opening.
The chrome-plated exterior provides a finished appearance for compatible installations where the fitting may remain visible.
