Value Collection 38873 Oil Drain Plug Gasket 7/16 Sae Copper 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38873 is a copper oil drain plug gasket designed to create a leak-free seal between the drain plug and oil pan on internal combustion engines. With an inside diameter of 29/64 inches (0.4531 inches decimal) and an outside diameter of 11/16 inches (0.6875 inches decimal), this gasket is sized for 7/16 SAE drain plugs. The copper construction provides excellent compressibility and heat resistance, conforming to minor surface irregularities on the drain plug seat to prevent oil seepage. Each pack contains 50 gaskets, making it a practical supply for shops performing volume oil service work.

This gasket is suited for routine oil change service on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small equipment where a 7/16 SAE drain plug is specified. It is commonly used in automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and quick-lube operations. The 1/32-inch thickness provides the correct crush profile for standard oil pan drain plug bosses. Packs of 50 support high-volume service environments where single-use gasket replacement is standard practice.

Key Features

• Copper material provides reliable crush seal and corrosion resistance at drain plug temperatures
• 7/16 SAE plug size compatibility with 29/64 inches ID and 11/16 inches OD dimensions
• 1/32-inch thickness delivers correct crush profile for standard drain plug seats
• Pack of 50 gaskets supports high-volume shop and fleet maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style copper drain plug gasket for applications requiring a 7/16 SAE drain plug with a 29/64 inches inside diameter seating surface.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automotive technicians and general service mechanics as part of routine oil change service. Allow the engine to cool sufficiently before draining oil and handling the drain plug area. Replace the gasket with each oil change rather than reusing the previously installed gasket. Torque the drain plug according to the vehicle or equipment manufacturer specification after seating the new gasket.
