- 303/304 Stainless Steel Excellent strength and durability
- Finish
- Natural Stainless Steel Corrosion-resistant
- Manufactured In
- United Kingdom Precision CNC machined
Main Port Connection
- Connection
- Male Metric For installation into a compatible female metric port
- Thread Type
- Straight Metric Thread provides retention rather than the fluid seal
- Sealing Method
- O-Ring Seals against a compatible metric port
Sensor Connection
- Connection
- Female Metric For a compatible male-threaded sensor
- Sensor Thread
- M10 x 1.00
- Sensor Sealing
- Sensor Dependent Follow the sensor manufacturer's sealing requirements
Available Options
| Main Port | Product Code | Sensor Port |
|---|---|---|
| M14 x 1.50 Male | PLG-PRT-MET-SEN-MET-SS-M14X15-M10X100 | M10 x 1.00 Female |
| M16 x 1.50 Male | PLG-PRT-MET-SEN-MET-SS-M16X15-M10X100 | M10 x 1.00 Female |
Check both connections before ordering. The main port must match the selected metric thread and have a compatible O-ring sealing surface. The sensor must use an M10 x 1.00 male thread and be installed using its specified sealing method.

-
What are metric port plugs with metric sensor ports used for?
They convert a compatible M14 x 1.50 or M16 x 1.50 female fluid port into an M10 x 1.00 female sensor connection, allowing a pressure or temperature sensor to be installed directly into the component.
-
What main port sizes are available?
Choose between an M14 x 1.50 or M16 x 1.50 male connection. Both versions feature an integrated M10 x 1.00 female sensor port.
-
What sensor thread do these port plugs have?
Both versions have an M10 x 1.00 female sensor port for installing a compatible pressure or temperature sensor.
-
How does the main metric connection seal?
The straight metric male thread provides retention while an O-ring creates the fluid seal against the compatible mating port.
-
Do I need thread sealant on the main metric connection?
No. The main metric connection is O-ring sealed, so the thread itself does not provide the fluid seal and should not require PTFE tape or thread sealant when installed into the correct mating port.
-
How does the M10 x 1.00 sensor seal?
The required sealing method depends on the sensor being installed. Check the sensor manufacturer's specifications and follow its recommended sealing and installation requirements.
-
What are the port plugs made from?
They are precision CNC machined from 303/304 stainless steel for excellent strength and durability.
-
Where are these port plugs manufactured?
They are precision CNC machined in the United Kingdom.
-
Are these port 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.
