Plug Configuration
Male NPT Thread
The plug features a precision-machined male NPT connection for installation into a compatible female threaded pipe, fitting, valve, manifold, or equipment port.
Red Brass Body
The domestic red brass construction provides dependable mechanical strength along with excellent resistance to corrosion in compatible piping environments.
Countersunk Head
The countersunk head provides a compact, low-profile installation that helps minimize protrusion from the surrounding threaded fitting or equipment surface.
Construction Details
Midland Red Brass Countersunk Plugs are manufactured from durable domestic red brass for dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance in compatible piping applications.
Precision-machined male NPT threads provide secure engagement with compatible female threaded components when installed using accepted piping practices.
The countersunk design provides a lower installed profile than raised square-head or hex-head plugs, making it useful where clearance, appearance, or reduced protrusion is important.
Why Choose a Countersunk Plug?
Low-Profile Installation
- Compact countersunk head
- Reduced external protrusion
- Useful where clearance is limited
- Provides a clean installed appearance
- Creates a removable threaded closure
Red Brass Construction
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Good resistance to dezincification
- Dependable mechanical strength
- Suitable for compatible commercial and industrial systems
- Designed for long-term threaded service
NPT Threaded Connection
Male NPT
Each plug uses a male NPT thread designed to install into a compatible female NPT opening of the corresponding nominal pipe size.
Thread Sealing
Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape where required by the application to help provide a secure, leak-resistant threaded connection.
Typical Applications
Plumbing & HVAC
- Threaded plumbing systems
- HVAC piping
- Mechanical systems
- Unused fitting openings
