The BSP Hex Plug is a precision-engineered pipe termination fitting designed to blank off and seal female BSP threaded pipe ends, sockets, or other female threaded fittings within a BSP threaded piping system. Manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, this hex plug delivers outstanding corrosion resistance, reliable threaded engagement, and long-lasting durability, making it a dependable pipe end termination solution across a wide range of industrial, marine, chemical, and general process piping applications.
As clearly visible in the product image, the hex plug presents a compact, solid body with a clearly defined hexagonal outer profile on its top face and male BSP threads machined around its outer circumference. The hexagonal top face provides flat engagement surfaces that allow the plug to be securely tightened and loosened using a standard spanner or wrench during installation and removal, ensuring controlled and consistent thread engagement torque can be applied. The male BSP threaded outer surface engages directly with the corresponding female BSP thread of the pipe end, socket, or fitting being sealed, creating a secure and leak-free threaded termination. The solid, fully enclosed body of the plug provides the blanking mass that seals the female threaded port completely, preventing flow, pressure loss, or ingress of contaminants at the termination point.
The BSP Hex Plug is the male-threaded counterpart to the BSP Hex Cap, and is commonly used to temporarily or permanently seal unused female threaded pipe outlets, branch connections, valve ports, or test points within a piping system, as well as during pressure testing and commissioning procedures where individual ports require isolation.
The BSP Hex Plug is available across a comprehensive range of twelve nominal bore sizes from NB6 (1/8 inch) through to NB100 (4 inch) ensuring compatibility with the full range of standard BSP pipe sizes commonly used across industrial, process, and general plumbing installations.
316-grade stainless steel provides superior resistance to corrosion, pitting, and chemical attack, making this hex plug an excellent specification choice for demanding marine, coastal, chemical processing, and offshore piping environments.
