Holo-krome 10002 Socket Pressure Plug 1/16-27 Alloy Steel

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 10002 is a socket pressure plug designed to seal threaded ports in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid system components. It features a 1/16-27 tapered thread and a 5/32-inch hex key drive for installation with a standard hex wrench or Allen key. The overall length is 5/16 inches. Constructed from alloy steel, this plug provides the durability and shear strength required for pressurized applications. It is commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians working on low-to-medium pressure fluid circuits.

This pressure plug is suited for sealing unused or test ports on valves, manifolds, cylinders, pumps, and pipe fittings where a flush or recessed closure is needed. The 1/16-27 thread conforms to standard tapered pipe thread dimensions at 3/4 inches taper per foot, making it compatible with standard NPT-dimensioned ports of the same thread size. It is typically used in industrial maintenance, light manufacturing, and fluid power applications.

Key Features

• 1/16-27 tapered thread provides a reliable, leak-resistant seal in standard NPT-dimensioned ports
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile strength for pressurized fluid and pneumatic systems
• 5/32-inch hex key drive allows installation in tight or recessed port locations
• 3/4 inches taper per foot thread geometry for consistent thread engagement
• Compact 5/16-inch overall length minimizes protrusion in space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service plug for standard 1/16-27 NPT-dimensioned threaded ports found in hydraulic, pneumatic, and plumbing system components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the tapered threads before installation to ensure a pressure-tight seal. Depressurize and de-energize the system completely before removing or installing any pressure plugs. Do not overtighten, as alloy steel plugs in softer port materials can strip threads if torqued excessively beyond hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns.
