The Thogus plug is made of nylon and has an NPT male connector. This white plug inserts into a pipe or fitting to close and terminate its end. It has a male National Pipe Taper (NPT) thread for connecting to a female threaded pipe, creating a tighter seal than straight threads. This fitting is made of nylon, which is very strong and flexible, has excellent abrasion resistance, is lightweight, and resists crushing and cracking. The working pressure for this fitting is up to 150 pounds per square inch (psi). The operating temperatures range from -50 to 275 degrees F.Pipe and tube fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Threaded fittings are used to connect to threaded pipes in a piping system. The rotation of external male, helical threads to internal, female threads creates the connection in a threaded piping system. When purchasing 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).Thogus manufactures plastic injection molding fittings for industrial, food and beverage, gardening, plumbing, and other markets. The company was founded in 1950 as the Master Mold & Die company and meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001:2008.
