60101025 - 1/8 Inch Brass Hex Socket Pipe Plug

Essential 1/8" Brass Plug for Shop Maintenance and Repair

Keep your equipment running smoothly and your shop leak-free with our 1/8" Brass Hex Socket Pipe Plug. In the world of welding and fabrication, small fittings often play the biggest roles. This versatile plug is the go-to solution for capping off unused ports on regulators, welding machines, and air tools. When you remove a gauge or reconfigure a gas line, leaving a port open is not an option. This plug provides a quick, secure, and professional way to seal the system and get back to work.

Built from solid brass, this fitting stands up to the rigors of the shop environment. It resists rust and corrosion better than standard steel plugs, which is vital for equipment that might be exposed to humidity or coolant mist. The 1/8" NPT thread is one of the most common sizes found on welding gear, used for everything from pressure switches to outlet ports on flowmeters. Having a few of these in your spare parts bin means you are never stuck waiting on a two-dollar part to finish a thousand-dollar job.

The hex socket design is a favorite among mechanics and fabricators for its low profile. Unlike square-head plugs that stick out and can snag on cables or clothing, this plug installs flush using a standard Allen key. This makes it perfect for recessed ports or tight areas inside machine cases where a wrench just won't fit. The flush finish also gives your equipment a clean, professional look, showing that you care about the details of your setup.

Installation is straightforward: simply apply a wrap of Teflon tape or a dab of thread sealant, thread it in by hand, and tighten it down with a hex key. The tapered threads bite firmly into the mating part, creating a seal you can trust. Whether you are plumbing a new air drop, fixing a leaky compressor, or customizing a gas manifold, this 1/8" brass plug is the reliable hardware you need to ensure a safe and efficient workspace.
