Value Collection 231016BR Socket Pressure Plug 3/4-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 231016BR is a socket pressure plug designed to seal threaded pipe openings in pressurized fluid and pneumatic systems. It features a 3/4-14 NPTF thread pattern, which provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without the need for additional sealant tape or compound when mated to a properly cut NPTF port. Manufactured from alloy steel, the plug is built to handle demanding service conditions common in hydraulic, pneumatic, and industrial plumbing applications. The 9/16-inch hex key drive allows installation and removal using standard internal hex tools. Taper is 3/4 inch per foot, consistent with NPTF specification. This plug is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians.

This socket pressure plug is suited for sealing unused or test ports in industrial piping systems, hydraulic manifolds, pneumatic circuits, and fluid power assemblies. It is appropriate for both new installation and maintenance work where an open NPTF port must be positively closed. Typical applications include machine tool systems, compressor manifolds, and industrial fluid distribution lines where a flush or near-flush closure is required.

Key Features

• 3/4-14 NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight seal at the thread form
• Alloy steel construction for strength in high-stress and high-pressure environments
• 9/16-inch internal hex drive for installation with standard hex key or Allen socket
• 3/4-inch-per-foot taper conforms to NPTF specification
• Compact socket-style head allows installation in recessed or tight port locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service plug for industrial and fluid power systems using standard 3/4-14 NPTF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or qualified industrial maintenance technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any pressure plugs. Use a calibrated hex key or hex-drive socket of the correct size to torque the plug; do not use improvised tools that may damage the hex socket recess. Verify thread compatibility and port condition before installation to ensure a proper pressure-tight fit.
