Holo-krome 10006 Alloy Steel Socket Pressure Plug 1/4-18

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 10006 is an alloy steel socket pressure plug designed to seal pipe threads in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-system applications. The plug features a 1/4-18 tapered pipe thread and measures 7/16 inches overall length. A 1/4-inch hex key drive allows installation and removal with standard Allen wrenches. The tapered thread profile follows a 3/4-inch taper per foot standard, creating a self-sealing mechanical joint as the plug is driven in. This type of fitting is commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, hydraulic technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals.

Socket pressure plugs like the HOLO-KROME 10006 are used to cap open pipe ports in hydraulic manifolds, pneumatic assemblies, pipe tees, cross fittings, and similar fluid-handling components. They are suited for both industrial and commercial installations where a compact, low-profile plug is needed to close an unused port without extending hardware beyond the surface of the assembly. Alloy steel construction makes this plug appropriate for higher-pressure systems where brass or plastic plugs are not adequate.

Key Features

• 1/4-18 tapered pipe thread provides a self-sealing fit in standard NPT ports
• Alloy steel construction for elevated pressure and mechanical load resistance
• 7/16-inch overall length keeps the plug flush or near-flush in tight assemblies
• 3/4-inch taper per foot thread geometry conforms to standard NPT taper specification
• 1/4-inch hex key drive for installation with common Allen wrenches in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT socket pressure plug for use in hydraulic manifolds, pneumatic assemblies, and pipe fittings with a 1/4-18 NPT female port.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any pipe plug. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the fluid and pressure rating of the system. Do not over-drive the plug, as alloy steel threads can damage softer cast or aluminum port materials if excess torque is applied.
