Zero Leak Technology

Zero-Leak Port Entry Plugs and Fittings offer significant advantages over old style o-rings on SAE straight thread or pipe thread plugs. They are guaranteed not to leak or back out, even in vibrations, temperature change and pressure spike situations. They require no chemical sealants, eliminating the risk of fluid system contamination.

 

Zero-Leak Plug technology involves the use of the taper at the mouth of standard SAE, ISO 6149 and other similar ports, to form a metal-to-metal seal with a specifically designed feature of the male mate component.

This feature is comprised of a tapered metal seat which protrudes when assembled, into the first few thousandths of an inch of the female taper of the port. When torque is applied to the assembled fittings, an interface of exceptionally high integrity is formed metal-to-metal.

As a back up to the primary metal-to-metal seal, an elastomeric seal in the form of an O-ring is also provided creating the most reliable and cost effective Zero Leak Port Entry Plug in existence.
 

Benefits of Zero Leak Boss Port Plugs

bullet

Boss port plugs provide backup seals for no weep, and no leak connections for all applications

bullet

Each seal works independently

bullet

Interchangeable with standard plugs

bullet

Will seal without O-rings

bullet

Exceptionally high unit loading at the interface

bullet

Invokes elastic memory between mating parts for extended life in vibration

bullet

Wide assembly torque range

bullet

Fittings will repeatedly seal

bullet

Increase choice of materials for service as high torques are not required

bullet

Exceptionally effective in vibration, temperature variation or pressure spike situations

bullet

Contributes to significant system cost reduction
 

Problems with Standard Plugs

bullet

No back up seal

bullet

High assembly torque required, leading to stripped threads

bullet

Poor resistance to vibration

bullet

Poor performance in aluminum ports

bullet

Fittings may work loose in service, eroding the O-ring resulting in leaks

bullet

Poor performance where high pressures, temperature changes, or shock loads are present

bullet

Surface defects or inaccurate machining of parts may result in leaks
