SA-333 Gr 6 · Low-temperature carbon steel pipe
An ASTM A333 Gr 6 plug is a threaded fitting that closes a female connection, for use with ASTM A333 Gr 6 pipe. ASTM A333 Gr 6 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching plug is made to ASTM A350 LF2 — which is what we supply for A333 Gr 6 lines. Hex-head, square-head and round-head plugs close threaded outlets, drains and vents. Made to ASME B16.11.

ASTM A333 Gr 6 Plug — questions buyers ask
Which plug head type should I use?
Hex-head plugs are easiest to tighten with a spanner; square-head suits older equipment; round-head is used where the plug should not be removed.
Can ASTM A333 Gr 6 plugs be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L.
Which standard covers ASTM A333 Gr 6 plugs?
The material is ASTM A350 LF2; dimensions follow ASME B16.11. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a ASTM A333 Gr 6 plug?
The steel price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
What documents do you supply?
