Parker Stainless Steel 316 Pipe Fitting, Hex Head Plug, 1/8" NPT Male

This Parker stainless steel 316 plug has a hexagonal head and male National Pipe Taper (NPT) thread for closing and terminating the end of a pipe. The plug inserts into female pipes and connects with NPT threads for creating a tighter seal than straight threads. It has a hexagonal head for increased leverage and use with a wrench and is made of stainless steel 316, which is higher strength and has greater corrosion resistance than stainless steel 304. This fitting meets standards ANSI B31.1, ANSI B1.20.1, and SAE 090109A for quality assurance.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
