Frequently Asked Questions
  • What are metric port blanking plugs used for?

    They are used to close unused or redundant female metric ports in compatible fluid-system components such as adapters, manifolds, filter housings, cooler components and sensor blocks.

  • How do metric port blanking plugs seal?

    These plugs use an O-ring to create the fluid seal against a compatible mating port.

  • Do I need thread sealant or PTFE tape?

    No. These metric port plugs are designed to seal using an O-ring rather than the threads, so thread sealant or PTFE tape should not be required when installed into the correct mating port.

  • How are the plugs installed?

    The plugs feature an internal hex drive and are installed using a correctly sized hex key. Ensure the thread, sealing surfaces and O-ring are clean and undamaged before installation.

  • Are metric and ORB port plugs interchangeable?

    No. Although both may use O-ring sealing, the thread standards and dimensions are different. Always match the plug to the exact thread and port specification.
