NYLON HEX HEAD PIPE PLUGMidland Industries solid white nylon hex head pipe plug for sealing the end of a 1/2" female pipe thread fitting. Lightweight and corrosion-proof -- a clean alternative to brass or galvanized plugs in water, brine, and food-contact lines.
- Connection: 1/2" MIP (male NPT)
- Material: virgin white nylon, FDA-compliant for food contact (21 CFR 177.1500)
- Pressure rating: 150 PSI at 70F
- Temperature range: -50F to 275F
- Drive: external hex head -- tightens with a standard open-end or socket wrench
- Manufacturer part number: 53621-08
Selection Tip: Liquid service only. Do not use on compressed air, gas, steam, or anywhere a brittle failure could become a projectile -- a metal plug is the right choice for those lines.
Installation Tip: Wrap two to three turns of PTFE tape on the male threads, hand-thread until snug, then wrench-tighten an additional one-half to three-quarter turn. Nylon threads strip easily -- stop as soon as the hex shoulders against the fitting; do not over-torque.
