Product Overview

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

Available NPT sensor port 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • 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.
