Product description
The Stainless Steel NPT Hex Head Plug is a plug in 316L stainless steel, forged from one piece. It carries an NPT male end. Stainless steel is chosen where corrosion rules out zinc-plated carbon steel: offshore and marine lines, chemical, fertiliser and petroleum plant, and food, beverage and pharmaceutical process equipment.
Construction
- Body: plug
- End 1: NPT male
- Material: 316L stainless steel, forged
Ends and sealing
- NPT: taper pipe thread that seals on the thread flanks, with sealant or tape; ASME B1.20.1.
Sizes
10 part numbers, 1/8" to 3". The Sizes & Part Numbers tab lists the size, dimensions in millimetres and the Parker equivalent for every one.
- End 1: 1/8" NPT (1/8-27) to 3" NPT (3-8)
Pressure rating
Manufacturer's published ratings (ASME B31.3 (NPT)), from 3,900 to 11,000 psi depending on size and end:

| 32 | 2 | 3900 | 268 | 3900 | 268 |
Parker equivalents
For 9 of the 10 sizes the size table gives the Parker part number the manufacturer cross-references, so a part number taken off existing equipment can be matched to the Indus part number.
Carbon-steel version
The same configuration in zinc-plated carbon steel: Plug NPT.
How to order
Quote the Indus part number from the size table. If you only have the fitting, send the thread or tube size on each end and the material, and Indus engineering will confirm the part number. Price and lead time are confirmed with the quotation.
