FORGED FITTINGS – PLUG
Structural Features:
A Forged Plug is a solid, threaded or socket-welded fitting used to seal the end of a pipe or fitting.
It is typically installed in unused or future outlets to stop flow and maintain system pressure integrity.
Forged plugs are compact, durable, and pressure-resistant, making them ideal for high-pressure small bore piping systems.
Plug Types:
Square Head Plug
Hex Head Plug
Round Head Plug
Available in Threaded (THD) and Socket Weld (SW) connections
Standards:
ASME B16.11
MSS SP-79 / SP-83 / SP-95
BS 3799 (optional)

Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications
Applications:
Forged plugs are used to:
Close off unused pipe openings
Maintain pressure seal
Facilitate future expansion or testing
Commonly found in:
Oil & Gas systems
Chemical pipelines
Steam and water systems
Skid-mounted equipment
Instrumentation and valve manifolds
Common Materials:
Carbon Steel (ASTM A105)
Stainless Steel (ASTM A182 F304, F316)
