316 Stainless Steel Construction
Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this barstock plug provides corrosion-resistant construction for compatible industrial and chemical piping applications. The material resists corrosive attack from hundreds of industrial and chemical solutions and mixtures.
Hex Countersunk Plug Design
The hex countersunk design uses an internal hex drive rather than an external square or hex head. This provides wrench engagement within the plug while maintaining a compact external profile when installed.
Threaded Closure
The male NPT connection threads into a compatible female NPT opening to provide a removable closure. The countersunk configuration is useful where a lower-profile plug is preferred or where clearance around an external wrenching head is limited.
Barstock Construction
This 1000# threaded plug is manufactured from stainless steel barstock and conforms to ASTM/ASME A182/SA182 and ANSI B16.11. Refer to the dimensional document below for fitting dimensions by size.
Selection & Application Guidance
- Select the plug to match the nominal size of the female NPT opening.
- Verify 316 stainless steel is compatible with the intended media and operating environment.
- Confirm pressure and temperature requirements for the piping system.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant compatible with the system media.
- Use the correctly sized hex tool for installation and removal.
- Follow proper NPT thread engagement and tightening practices.
