-
What are stainless steel metric port blanking plugs used for?
They are used to close unused female metric ports in compatible fluid-system components, providing a removable O-ring sealed closure for maintenance, modifications or permanent installation.
-
What metric thread sizes are available?
Available sizes are M10 x 1.00, M10 x 1.25 and M12 x 1.00.
-
How do the metric port blanking plugs seal?
The straight metric thread provides retention while the fluid seal is created by an O-ring against the mating port.
-
Do metric port blanking plugs require thread sealant?
No. The thread itself does not provide the fluid seal, so thread sealant or PTFE tape should not be required on a correctly matched O-ring sealed metric connection.
-
Is M10 x 1.00 the same as M10 x 1.25?
No. Although both have a 10 mm nominal thread diameter, they use different thread pitches and are not interchangeable. Always check the thread pitch before ordering.
-
What are the blanking plugs made from?
They are precision CNC machined from 303/304 stainless steel for excellent strength and durability.
-
What finish do the stainless steel plugs have?
They have a natural stainless steel finish, providing excellent corrosion resistance without an additional coating.
-
Where are these blanking plugs manufactured?
They are precision CNC machined in the United Kingdom.
-
Are these metric port blanking plugs reusable?
Yes. They can be removed and reused provided the threads, sealing surfaces and O-ring remain in good condition. Inspect the O-ring before reuse and replace it if damaged or deteriorated.
