Value Collection 233001PR Socket Pressure Plug 1/16-27

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 233001PR is a socket pressure plug designed to seal hydraulic and pneumatic ports in fluid power systems. The plug features a 1/16-27 NPTF thread, which provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without the need for a separate sealant in many applications. Machined from uncoated alloy steel, this plug suits high-pressure environments where thread integrity and material strength are critical. The 9/64-inch internal hex drive allows installation with a standard hex key. A 7/8-inch taper per foot conforms to NPTF thread geometry for reliable port closure. Technicians use this style of plug to cap unused ports on manifolds, valves, cylinders, and other hydraulic or pneumatic components during system assembly or maintenance.

This pressure plug is suited for use in industrial, fluid power, and mechanical systems where NPTF-threaded ports require a secure, leak-resistant closure. The 1/16-27 thread size is commonly found on small-port hydraulic valves, manifold blocks, instrumentation fittings, and similar components. Installation is performed by maintenance mechanics, hydraulic technicians, and plumbers working on fluid power or compressed-air systems. The uncoated alloy steel construction makes it appropriate for use with oils, hydraulic fluids, and other non-corrosive media.

Key Features

• 1/16-27 NPTF thread delivers a pressure-tight seal at the thread interface
• Alloy steel construction provides strength under hydraulic and pneumatic service pressures
• 7/8-inch taper per foot conforms to NPTF thread standard geometry
• 9/64-inch hex key drive for installation with common hand tools
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with oils and hydraulic fluids
• Compact form factor for small-port sealing applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPTF socket pressure plug for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid power components fitted with 1/16-27 NPTF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a hydraulic technician or qualified mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any port plug. Use a correctly sized 9/64-inch hex key to avoid rounding the drive socket. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape as required by system specifications and applicable fluid power standards, even though NPTF threads are designed for metal-to-metal sealing.
