PLUG, HX SO 1/4 NPTF W/THREAD
Western Part # 92095 is a Hex Socket Pipe Plug designed for sealing ports or openings with a 1/4 inch National Pipe Taper Fuel (NPTF) thread. This plug features a hex socket drive, allowing for easy installation and removal using a standard Allen wrench or hex key. The NPTF thread is a dry seal thread, meaning it is designed to create a leak-proof seal without the need for additional sealant in many applications, although thread sealant or Teflon tape can be used for added security.
This plug is typically used in hydraulic systems and other applications on various Western Snow Plow models to block off unused ports in manifolds, valves, cylinders, or other hydraulic components. By providing a tight and reliable seal, it prevents the leakage of hydraulic fluid and maintains the proper pressure within the system. Using the correct plug in these applications is crucial for the efficient and reliable operation of the snow plow’s hydraulic functions.
Constructed from durable materials compatible with hydraulic fluids and designed to withstand the pressures and conditions encountered during snow plowing operations, this hex socket pipe plug is a robust and dependable sealing solution. The hex socket design allows for high torque application during installation, ensuring a tight seal. The threaded portion is precisely machined to meet NPTF standards for a secure and leak-free fit. Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation and hydraulic schematics to confirm compatibility with the specific port you intend to seal and to follow proper installation procedures, including recommended torque values.
