Product Overview
Description
Technical Details
Specifications
Design & Construction
- Product Type
- Metric Port Plug with NPT Sensor Port Provides a dedicated NPT sensor connection from an M22 x 1.50 fluid port
- Material
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Lightweight, high-strength alloy
- Finish
- Black Anodised Protects against wear and corrosion
Main Port Connection
- Connection
- M22 x 1.50 Male For installation into a compatible female M22 x 1.50 port
- Thread Type
- Straight Metric Thread provides retention rather than the fluid seal
- Sealing Method
- O-Ring Seals against the mating M22 x 1.50 port
- O-Ring Included
- Yes Supplied with the correctly sized sealing O-ring
Sensor Connection
- Connection
- 1/8"-27 NPT Female For a compatible male NPT pressure or temperature sensor
- Thread Type
- Tapered NPT Thread tightens progressively as the sensor is installed
- Sealing Method
- Tapered Thread Seal Use a suitable thread sealant when installing the sensor
Apply suitable thread sealant according to the sensor manufacturer's instructions and keep excess sealant clear of the fluid passage.
Available Option
| Product Code | Main Port | Sensor Port |
|---|---|---|
| PLG-PRT-MET-SEN-NPT-AL-M22X15-18NPT | M22 x 1.50 Male | 1/8"-27 NPT Female |
Check both connections before ordering. The M22 x 1.50 main port must have a compatible O-ring sealing surface, and the sensor must have a 1/8"-27 NPT male connection.

-
What are metric port plugs with NPT sensor ports used for?
They convert an M22 x 1.50 fluid port into a female 1/8"-27 NPT connection for installing a compatible pressure or temperature sensor.
-
What size is the sensor port?
The integrated sensor connection is 1/8"-27 NPT Female.
-
How does the M22 x 1.50 connection seal?
The M22 x 1.50 connection uses a straight metric thread for retention and an O-ring to create the fluid seal against a compatible mating port.
-
Is the M22 sealing O-ring included?
Yes. The port plug is supplied with the O-ring required for sealing the M22 x 1.50 connection against a compatible port.
-
How does the 1/8"-27 NPT sensor connection seal?
NPT uses a tapered pipe thread that progressively tightens as the sensor is installed. Use a suitable thread sealant in accordance with the sensor manufacturer's installation requirements.
-
Does the NPT sensor connection use an O-ring?
No. The 1/8"-27 NPT sensor port seals on its tapered thread rather than using an O-ring. The supplied O-ring is used for the M22 x 1.50 main connection.
-
Is 1/8" NPT the same as 1/8" BSPP?
No. NPT and BSPP use different thread forms and sealing methods and should not be treated as interchangeable. Check that your sensor has a genuine 1/8"-27 NPT male thread.
-
Are these port plugs reusable?
Yes. They can be removed and reused provided the threads and sealing surfaces remain undamaged. Inspect the M22 sealing O-ring before reuse and use fresh thread sealant when reinstalling the NPT sensor.
