Machined from brass, this plug uses a 3\/8-18 NPTF thread standard, which provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without requiring additional sealant tape or compound. The 3\/4-inch taper per foot thread geometry conforms to NPTF specifications, ensuring a leak-free fit when fully seated. A 5\/16-inch hex key drive allows installation with a standard Allen wrench in tight or recessed port locations. At 0.06 pounds, the plug is lightweight and suited for inline or manifold port sealing where a low-profile fastener is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plug is used to cap unused threaded ports on hydraulic manifolds, pneumatic valve blocks, plumbing fittings, and fluid-power components. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, as well as industrial fluid systems where NPTF-threaded brass fittings are standard. Brass construction makes it compatible with water, oil, and many common hydraulic fluids. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid-power technicians typically install this type of plug during system assembly or maintenance when a port must be closed off and pressure-rated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-18 NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight seal without sealant compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch taper per foot thread geometry meets NPTF specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex key drive for installation in recessed or tight port locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with water, oil, and common hydraulic fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.06 pounds for use in compact manifold or inline port applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any system with a standard 3\/8-18 NPTF-threaded port requiring a pressure-rated plug closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or fluid-power technicians. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded port plugs. Use a 5\/16-inch hex key to seat the plug; do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Consult applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC for pressure-rated fittings requirements in your jurisdiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches per foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Key Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 230010PR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721015263538,"sku":"230010PR","price":1880.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/25a91f45d9607f2490990fdf72c9babb_fcb2222d-621c-4de8-8b82-4449dc1e941a.jpg?v=1788572298","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-230010pr-socket-pressure-plug-3-8-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
