Key Specifications
- Connection Type: 3/8" Male NPTF (Tapered Pipe Thread)
- Drive Style: External Square Head (typically turned with a standard open-ended wrench or adjustable wrench)
- Sealing Method: Tapered thread-to-thread mechanical seal (NPTF "Dryseal" standard allows for metal-to-metal sealing, though thread sealant or PTFE tape is usually recommended in hydraulic applications to guarantee a leak-free joint).
- Common Material: Typically manufactured from heavy-duty plated carbon steel for maximum pressure tolerance, or stainless steel for corrosive chemical/marine systems.
Common Applications
This plug is used across a variety of high-pressure hydraulic circuits, industrial manifolds, valve blocks, pumps, and reservoir tanks. It serves to seal off accessory or auxiliary fluid ports that are not actively being plumbed into a line. The external square head layout provides excellent leverage for tightening and ensures the plug can be removed cleanly even after extensive service in harsh environments.
