This Anderson Metals 06121 cored hex head plug is a brass pipe fitting with a 3/4" male threaded connection. This cored hex plug fitting inserts into a pipe or fitting to close and terminate its end and has a hexagonal head for an increased bearing surface when adjusting the fitting with a wrench. It has male threads for connecting to female threaded pipes or fittings. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel.
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).
Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.
