Amflo 1/4″ T Design x 3/8″ FNPT Steel Plug (CP2-23)

Description

The Amflo 1/4″ T Design x 3/8″ FNPT Steel Plug (CP2-23) is an essential component for any professional or enthusiast working with compressed air systems. Engineered for reliability and consistent performance, this plug serves as a crucial link in your air line setup. Its robust construction from plated steel, combined with precision manufacturing, ensures a secure and efficient connection for a wide range of pneumatic tools and equipment. Designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in both automotive and industrial environments, the CP2-23 offers a maximum working pressure of 300 PSI, providing the assurance of safety and stability during operation. The T Design, also known as Tru-Flate 10 and 100 type series, ensures broad interchangeability with other standard fittings, making it a versatile addition to your toolkit. Each plug is meticulously heat-treated to significantly reduce wear on critical mating surfaces, extending the product’s lifespan and maintaining optimal performance over time. The inclusion of hardened steel balls and stainless steel springs within the coupler (when paired with a compatible coupler) further enhances the fitting’s durability and smooth operation, making the Amflo CP2-23 an excellent choice for maintaining efficient and reliable air connections.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Reliable Performance: Plated steel construction with hardened steel balls and stainless steel springs ensures lasting operation.
• Extended Lifespan: Coupler plugs are heat-treated to reduce wear on critical mating surfaces, promoting durability.
• High-Pressure Capability: Safely operates with a maximum working pressure of 300 PSI.
• Broad Compatibility: T Design (Tru-Flate 10 and 100 type series) ensures interchangeability with many standard air fittings.
• Secure Connection: Designed to create a tight, leak-resistant seal for efficient air flow.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Part Number: CP2-23
• Body Size: 1/4″
• Thread Type: Female National Pipe Tapered (FNPT)
• Thread Size: 3/8″
• Material: Steel (Plated)
• Maximum Working Pressure: 300 PSI
• Packaging: Typically shipped in a box containing 10 plugs.

HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Connection: Ensure that the air hose or pneumatic tool you intend to connect has a compatible male NPT threaded port. Clean any debris from the threads of both the plug and the receiving port.
• Apply Thread Sealant (Optional but Recommended): For an optimal, leak-free seal, apply a suitable thread sealant (such as PTFE tape or pipe dope) to the external threads of the receiving port on your hose or tool. Apply in the direction of the threads, usually 2-3 wraps for tape.
• Thread the Plug: Carefully thread the 3/8″ FNPT end of the Amflo CP2-23 steel plug onto the prepared male NPT threads of your air hose or tool.
• Tighten the Connection: Hand-tighten the plug initially until snug. Then, use a wrench to tighten it an additional 1/2 to 1 turn past hand-tight. Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the threads or the fitting.
• Connect to Coupler: Once the plug is securely attached to your hose or tool, it can be quickly connected to a compatible T-design (Tru-Flate 10 or 100 type series) air coupler. Push the plug firmly into the coupler until it locks into place.
• Test for Leaks: After connection, pressurize your air system and listen for any hissing sounds or use a soapy water solution to check for bubbles, indicating a leak. If a leak is detected, disconnect, reapply sealant if necessary, and re-tighten.
