The Dixon 1255H Series is the ultimate solution for plugging or blocking ports in modern hydraulic components. Unlike NPT plugs that rely on thread deformation to seal (and often leak with vibration), this plug uses the SAE ORB (O-Ring Boss) system. Sealing is achieved by a high-quality O-Ring located at the base of the thread. When the plug is tightened, the O-Ring compresses against the port's chamfer, creating an elastic, airtight barrier unaffected by pressure cycles or machinery vibrations.
Key Features:
-
"Dry-Tech" Technology: Ensures a clean, dry seal, ideal for meeting environmental standards and keeping machinery oil-free.
-
Hexagonal Head (H): Allows for secure mounting with a standard wrench.
-
Port Protection: With a straight (cylindrical) thread, this plug does not expand or crack the valve or pump body when tightened, unlike tapered NPT plugs that generate mechanical stress.
-
Ready to Use: Comes with the O-Ring pre-installed.
