Brass male cork

Secure the closure of your hydraulic circuits with this brass male plug with hex head. Designed for general plumbing, this screw-on fitting allows you to seal a female tapped outlet tightly and permanently, or to serve as a drain plug on your manifolds and tanks.

Robust forged brass construction

This cap has a careful industrial design to meet the reliability requirements of domestic and professional installations:

• Manufacturing quality : Forged and machined or turned fitting, guaranteeing a porosity-free structure and a very precise thread.
• Ergonomic hex head : Its shape allows a firm grip with a flat or adjustable wrench, ensuring optimal tightening torque without deforming the fitting.
• Durable Material : Brass provides natural corrosion resistance, ensuring maximum longevity even in wet environments.

Technical performance and ISO standards

The major advantage of this fitting lies in its ability to withstand high hydraulic stresses while respecting the standards of the sector:

• Gas "G" connection : Male thread in accordance with ISO 228-1 (BSPP), guaranteeing universal compatibility in plumbing.
• PN 16 High Pressure : This cap is certified to withstand a working pressure of up to 16 Bar, which is much higher than the usual household pressure.
• Thermal versatility : Its temperature resistance is only limited by the type of sealing you choose (PTFE, fiber gasket, elastomer or glue).

Simplified installation and installation advice

Installation is quick and easy. For a perfect lockout, it is sufficient to apply PTFE tape or thread to the male thread before screwing. Thanks to its flat reach under the hex head, it also allows the use of a flat gasket if the receiving female part has a flat bearing surface, thus providing double security against micro-leaks.

Case studies: Maintenance and winterization

In a specific case of irrigation network management, this plug is ideal for blocking the collector outlets during the winter. For example, it can be used to plug a water supply after removing a garden faucet to prevent frost or debris from entering the pipe. Its robustness also makes it a perfect drain plug for hot water tanks or heating circuits.
