BSPT Allen Socket Taper Plug / STAINLESS STEEL
British Standard Taper Pipe Thread: This threading is also commonly referred to as "R" Series British Pipe Taper, Tapered Fastening Thread, British Gas
Taper plugs seal via metal-to-metal wedging of male and female taper thread patterns. Headless stainless steel plug style, no sealing washer required. Consider using a thread sealant on the plug prior to installation to achieve adequate seal and to reduce the possibility of leakage.
Specification
DIN 906 tapered hexagon socket screw plugs with a hexagon socket drive at one end and a slightly tapered pipe thread along the full length of the plug. The threaded section of the plug is slightly conical and when tightened to the appropriate torque, the deformation of the threads creates the seal.
Designed to create a tighter seal for masking threaded holes and is commonly used to seal holes in machinery, fittings or pipes to prevent leakage of air, steam, gases, water, oil and fluids. This plug is also great for blocking off intake manifold water ports, water pump ports, water temp and oil sender holes, engine block holes, etc.
Material
Made of highly durable A2 stainless steel that possesses superior anti-corrosive properties suitable for use in wet environments, these plugs can be extensively used for commercial, industrial, automotives, boats, sanitary pipes and fittings.
For any application involving marine (salt water), use A4 / 316 Stainless Steel material, available as special order.
