OVERVIEW

Premium Stainless Steel Sealing Solution

The Western Enterprises P-4SS is a high-performance pipe plug designed for the rigorous demands of industrial gas distribution and fluid handling systems. Manufactured from premium-grade stainless steel, this fitting provides exceptional resistance to rust, oxidation, and chemical corrosion, making it the superior choice for harsh environments where standard brass fittings may degrade over time.

Featuring a standard 1/4-inch Male National Pipe Taper (NPT) thread, this plug is engineered to create a secure, pressure-tight seal when installed in compatible ports. The precision machining ensures that threads engage smoothly and bite effectively, minimizing the risk of leaks in critical systems. Whether you are capping off an unused port on a gas manifold, sealing a regulator outlet, or configuring a custom piping assembly, the P-4SS delivers reliability you can trust.

The hex head design allows for straightforward installation using a standard wrench, enabling technicians to apply the necessary torque for a positive seal without stripping the head. This plug is suitable for a wide range of applications, including compressed gas service, cryogenic systems, and hydraulic setups requiring stainless steel components. Trust Western Enterprises for fittings that meet the highest standards of safety and quality in the industrial sector.

FAQ

The P-4SS features a 1/4-inch Male National Pipe Taper (NPT) thread.

It is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability.

Yes, for NPT connections, it is recommended to use PTFE tape or a compatible thread sealant to ensure a leak-proof seal.

Stainless steel is generally compatible with oxygen, but all components in oxygen service must be cleaned specifically for oxygen use. Check if the specific unit is oxygen-cleaned before use.

A standard open-end wrench or adjustable wrench that fits the hex head is all that is needed.

Yes, Western Enterprises stainless steel fittings are designed to handle high-pressure industrial gas applications.

The standard P-4 is made of brass, while the P-4SS is made of stainless steel, offering better corrosion resistance and strength.

Yes, as long as the fluid is compatible with stainless steel and the pressure does not exceed the rating of the NPT connection.
