Unlike solvent-welded end caps that are permanent, this threaded plug can be unscrewed and removed when access is needed, making it ideal for cleanout points, future expansion provisions, and temporary closures. The male threaded design screws into female threaded adapters (FABT) or other female threaded fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from corrosion-resistant brass or CPVC material, this plug maintains full pressure rating while providing the convenience of removability. The hex head design allows for easy installation and removal with standard wrenches.
