$1.06

Description

Purpose: The primary function of a drain plug is to provide a convenient access point for removing fluids, such as oil, coolant, or hydraulic fluid, from a reservoir or system during maintenance or servicing.
Design: Drain plugs typically consist of a threaded plug or cap with a built-in sealing washer or gasket. The plug may feature a hexagonal or square head for easy installation and removal using a wrench or socket.
Material Composition: Drain plugs are commonly made from durable materials such as steel, aluminum, or brass, chosen for their strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with the fluids being drained.
Installation: To use a drain plug, it is threaded into the drain port of the reservoir or system using the appropriate tools. The sealing washer or gasket ensures a leak-proof seal, preventing fluid leakage during operation.
Maintenance: Regular inspection of drain plugs is important to check for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Worn-out sealing washers or gaskets should be replaced, and damaged drain plugs should be repaired or replaced promptly to prevent fluid leaks.
