Brass Flared Plug 3/8 Tube OD (Pack of 10)

Hydraulic hose plugs are crucial accessories that seal and protect the ends of hydraulic hose fittings to prevent damage while they are in storage or being transported. These plugs are equipped with a male-threaded end that securely connects to the female-threaded end of compatible hydraulic components. By doing so, they effectively keep out moisture, dirt, and other contaminants that could potentially compromise the integrity of the fittings.

These essential accessories are typically constructed using materials such as brass, stainless steel, and galvanized steel. These materials are specifically chosen for their ability to withstand corrosion, pressure, and wear, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the plugs.

Hose fittings come in a variety of types, each with unique connections including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others conforming to internationally-accepted specifications. For example, a hex plug with an SAE 45-degree flare male end is designed to terminate a tube size fitting.

Brass is a popular choice for hydraulic hose plugs due to its corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. This makes it an ideal material for ensuring the durability and reliability of the fittings. In addition, brass fittings like flare plugs are commonly used to quickly and easily connect lines for air, fuel, oil, and inert gases.

These brass fittings are not only cost-effective but also reusable, making them a practical choice for various applications. Whether long or short, these fittings offer good resistance to vibration, further enhancing their reliability.

Typical applications for hydraulic hose plugs include grease, refrigeration, instrumentation, and hydraulic systems. By utilizing these essential accessories, users can effectively safeguard their hydraulic hose fittings from potential damage, ensuring the smooth operation and longevity of their systems.
