Midland Industries 196116 Split Plug 1 in Code 61 Flange Steel

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 196116 is a steel split plug designed for Code 61 flange connections in hydraulic systems. It seals a 1-inch Code 61 split flange port to cap off or blank unused ports during service, system testing, or long-term storage. Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 3000 psi, this plug is built for the demands of industrial and mobile hydraulic circuits. Its steel construction provides the durability needed in high-pressure environments. Technicians in hydraulic system service and maintenance will typically reach for this fitting when capping active or inactive flange ports on pumps, motors, manifolds, and cylinders.

This split plug fits within the 1961 Series Code 61 split flange fitting family and is intended for use in steel hydraulic flange assemblies operating up to 3000 psi. It is suited for both industrial fixed machinery and mobile hydraulic equipment where Code 61 flange connections are specified. The compact dimensions allow installation in confined spaces common in hydraulic power units and mobile equipment frames.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Before installing or removing any flange plug, depressurize the hydraulic circuit completely and verify zero pressure at the port using an appropriate gauge. Torque fasteners according to the hydraulic system manufacturer specifications and applicable SAE flange hardware guidelines. Inspect the sealing surface and O-ring groove for damage before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.
