123-2017: Hydraulic Plug

A hydraulic plug is a type of mechanical plug used to prevent the flow of fluid through a hydraulic system. These systems use high-pressure fluids, such as oil or hydraulic fluid, to transfer power and control the movement of mechanical components. They are often used in conjunction with other hydraulic components, such as valves and cylinders, to control the flow of fluid and ensure the system operates correctly. Attributes: • Typically have a tapered or threaded shape to fit securely into the hydraulic system. • Withstand high pressure levels, and their pressure rating is an important consideration • Easy to install and remove, which makes them a popular choice for temporary or emergency repairs. Applications: Hydraulic plugs are used to block the flow of hydraulic fluid during maintenance and repair of hydraulic systems, such as changing filters, replacing seals, or replacing hydraulic components.
