What is Hexagon Socket Pipe Plugs?
Hexagon socket pipe plugs, also known as hex socket plugs, are typically used to close off the end of a pipe or fitting. Here’s some information about them:
- Design: They have a hexagonal recessed cavity, or socket, into which an Allen wrench or hex key can be fitted. This allows for better ease of installation and removal compared to plugs that require a wrench.
- Material: They are commonly made from a variety of materials like stainless steel, brass, plastic, or carbon steel.
- Function: Their main function is to seal the ends of pipework or to block off a channel within a fitting.
- Applications: They are typically used in applications such as plumbing, oil, gas, petrochemical, and other industrial applications.
- Thread Type: They can come in varied thread types, such as BSPT, NPT, or metric, and in different standard sizes to suit various applications.
- Installation: Due to the interior hex, they can be installed in areas with limited space, where there might not be enough room to maneuver a wrench.
The design of hexagon socket pipe plugs makes them particularly suitable for applications where space is limited or ease of assembly and disassembly is preferable.
