2 inch Brass Raised Head Cleanout Plug

2 inch MPT Code Plug – Threaded Male End Closure, Lead-Free Brass

The 2 inch MPT Code Plug is a threaded male fitting used to seal the end of a female-threaded opening in pressure or non-pressure piping systems. Designed for temporary or permanent closure of unused pipe openings, it is commonly installed in gas, water, or mechanical piping systems that require compliance with modern lead-free standards.

This plug is manufactured from lead-free brass, conforming to applicable U.S. federal regulations for potable water systems. The tapered threads meet ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves. It provides mechanical sealing with appropriate thread sealant for long-term performance.
