Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass Square Head Pipe Plug Fitting
The Midwest Fasteners solid brass square head pipe plug is built to seal off unused threaded ports in plumbing runs, manifolds, valves, compressors, and tank openings. Machined from solid brass, this general fitting features a square head that gives a wrench a secure, positive grip for tightening and removal without rounding off the corners or marring the surrounding fitting. This family is available in 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" thread sizes, letting plumbers, maintenance techs, and fabricators match the plug to the exact port that needs to be closed off, and the solid brass construction resists corrosion in both water and air service, making it a dependable choice for long-term use on threaded assemblies.
