Product Description
Hydraulic Hex PlugHydraulic hex plugs are a type of threaded plug used to close off or seal off an open hydraulic line, cylinder, or other component. They typically have a hex-shaped head and are designed to be tightened or loosened with a wrench. Hydraulic hex plugs are often made of MS, steel, or other durable materials and are designed to withstand the high pressures and temperatures found in hydraulic systems.Hex Mail Cap Sizes Given Below:

FAQ's of Hydraulic Hex Plug:
Q: How do I install the Hydraulic Hex Plug in my hydraulic system?
A: Simply screw the hex plug into the corresponding threaded port using a suitable wrench. The hexagonal head facilitates tight and secure installation for effective metal-to-metal sealing, ensuring leak prevention under high pressures.
Q: What thread types and sizes are available for this plug?
A: The Hydraulic Hex Plug comes in both BSP and NPT thread variants, with sizes ranging from 1/8" to 2". Please refer to specific part numbers or consult your supplier for the exact match to your hydraulic piping requirements.
Q: When should I use a zinc-plated or galvanized finish?
A: Zinc-plated or galvanized finishes offer enhanced corrosion resistance. Choose based on your application environment: zinc plating is sufficient for standard conditions, while galvanized is preferable for more aggressive or outdoor environments.
Q: Where can the Hydraulic Hex Plug be applied?
A: This plug is primarily designed for use in hydraulic pipes, tubing systems, and related hydraulic equipment in industrial, manufacturing, or automotive settings. Its robust construction makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor hydraulic applications.
Q: What process ensures the plug's corrosion resistance and durability?
A: The hydraulic hex plug undergoes an electroplating process-either zinc plating or galvanization-to provide a protective layer against rust and corrosion. Combined with carbon steel, this process extends the component's service life in demanding environments.
Q: What benefits does precision-machined threading provide?
A: Precision-machined threads ensure a tight and secure fit, enhancing the metal-to-metal sealing capacity. This minimizes leaks, reduces maintenance requirements, and assures performance under high mechanical stress.
