Value Collection BD-38870-1 Oil Drain Plug Gasket 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-38870-1 is a copper oil drain plug gasket designed to seal engine oil drain plugs against the oil pan mating surface. Sized at 7/16 inches inside diameter and 13/16 inches outside diameter with a 1/16 inch thickness, this gasket fits 3/8 SAE drain plugs commonly found on small engines, compressors, and light-duty automotive applications. The copper construction provides reliable crush-sealing and resistance to oil and heat. Sold in a pack of 50 units, this gasket is a standard shop consumable stocked by automotive technicians, fleet maintenance crews, and HVAC equipment service professionals who perform routine fluid changes.

This gasket is suited for use on oil drain plugs threaded at 3/8 SAE. Typical applications include small engine oil pans, air compressor oil reservoirs, and similar equipment requiring a reliable crush-type seal at the drain point. The copper material conforms under torque to fill minor surface irregularities, reducing the chance of seepage after service. The 50-count pack supports shop restocking needs and minimizes per-unit cost for high-volume service operations.

Key Features

• Copper construction provides reliable crush seal and heat resistance at the drain plug interface
• 3/8 SAE plug size compatibility for small engines, compressors, and similar equipment
• 7/16 inches ID by 13/16 inches OD profile for precise fitment at the drain plug seat
• 1/16 inch thickness delivers consistent crush depth across varied mating surfaces
• Pack of 50 units supports shop restocking and routine maintenance workflows

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement crush gasket for 3/8 SAE oil drain plugs on small engines, air compressors, and similar equipment with a mating surface suited to a 7/16 inches ID by 13/16 inches OD copper gasket.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automotive technicians, small engine mechanics, or equipment service technicians. Always drain the oil fully and allow the engine or compressor to cool before removing the drain plug. Replace the copper gasket each service interval rather than reusing a previously crushed gasket, as a deformed gasket will not reseal reliably. Hand-tighten the drain plug until the gasket contacts the mating surface, then snug to the equipment manufacturer's specified torque using a calibrated torque wrench.
