A hollow hex plug NPT‑M is a precision‑engineered pipe fitting designed to seal or close the end of a female NPT‑threaded port or fitting while allowing internal access through its hollow center. It features male National Pipe Taper (NPT‑M) threads and a hexagonal head for easy tightening or removal with a wrench. The hollow design allows for functions such as pressure testing, venting, or temporary connection of instrumentation devices without fully opening the system.
These plugs are widely used in hydraulic, pneumatic, instrumentation, and fluid systems across industries including oil and gas, chemical processing, manufacturing, and power generation. The NPT taper threads create a leak‑resistant seal when installed with proper thread sealant or PTFE tape, making them suitable for high-pressure applications.
