Item Description
In the world of fluid power, we often focus on the major components: the pumps, hoses, and cylinders. But as your dedicated industrial hose supplier, we at Hose and Fitting Supply know that the integrity of any system depends just as much on the small, critical components. Properly sealing off unused ports is a fundamental task for both safety and performance, and for this job, you need the simple reliability of our slotted head plugs.
- Typical Applications: Grease, fuels, refrigeration, instrumentation and hydraulic systems
- Pressure: Operating pressure up to 1200 psi
- Vibration: Fair resistance
- Temperature Range: -65°F to +250°F
A threaded plug is designed for one crucial purpose: to cap off and securely seal unused female-threaded ports in your equipment, such as in manifolds, valves, or pumps. What makes our slotted head plugs an exceptionally useful piece of hardware is their straightforward design. The simple slot in the head allows for fast and easy installation or removal using a standard flathead screwdriver. This feature is a significant advantage when you are working in confined spaces where getting a socket or hex wrench into position is difficult or impossible, ensuring you can always achieve a proper, secure seal without specialized tools.
These plugs are a vital part of any collection of hydraulic hose fittings. An unsealed port is an open invitation for contaminants like dirt, moisture, and debris to enter your sensitive hydraulic system. This contamination can lead to abrasive wear on precision components, degradation of hydraulic fluid, and ultimately, costly system failures. To be effective, a slotted head plug must perfectly match the port's thread type, whether it's NPT, SAE, or another standard, to prevent cross-threading and guarantee a leak-proof seal.
We offer these essential hose accessories in a range of high-quality materials, from durable carbon steel for high-pressure applications to corrosion-resistant stainless steel for use in harsh environments. Whether you are building a new system, conducting field repairs, or performing routine maintenance, having a well-stocked inventory of these slotted head plugs is a must. Don't overlook this small but mighty component; protect your investment by choosing the correct, high-quality slotted head plugs from our comprehensive selection. Shop today.
