A bull plug, also known as a bull plug fitting, is a type of threaded pipe fitting. It is designed to seal the end of a pipe or fitting that has male threads.

The term "bull" in bull plug refers to its solid construction, as it is a solid cylindrical piece without any holes or perforations. Bull plugs are typically made of metal, such as steel, brass, or stainless steel, to provide durability and resistance to corrosion.

Bull plugs have external threads that match the internal threads of the pipe or fitting they are intended to be installed into. They are often used in applications where the end of a pipe needs to be closed off permanently or temporarily. This could include pressure testing, system maintenance, or situations where the pipe's end is no longer needed.

To install a bull plug, you would apply thread sealant or tape to the male threads of the plug and then thread it into the female threads of the pipe or fitting. The tight threading creates a secure connection that prevents leaks and maintains the integrity of the system.

It's worth noting that bull plugs are available in various sizes and thread standards, such as NPT (National Pipe Thread) or BSP (British Standard Pipe). The specific dimensions and thread type of the bull plug should match the requirements of the pipe or fitting you are working with.
