A reliable seal is the most critical function of Hollow Hex Pipe Plug with Sealing Ring. Sealing operations can be mainly classified into the following two categories:
(1)Gasket seal (parallel threads)
Principle:The replaceable sealing gasket is compressed by the screw plug step to achieve end face sealing
Core components:Copper washer, ED ring, O-ring, aluminum washer
(2)Thread interference seal (tapered thread)
Principle:Relying on the interference fit inherent in the taper thread, metal-to-metal sealing is achieved directly
Core components:No gasket, but can be supplemented with sealant or tape
(1)Pre-applied Thread Sealant
Apply a thin layer of microcapsule sealant (such as the pre-coating technology of Loctite) on the threads of the Hollow Hex Pipe Plug with Sealing Ring.
During installation, the adhesive layer was compressed and cracked, and after curing, it formed a seal and provided anti-loosening function.
Suitable for parallel threads or conical threads, it can replace adhesive tape or washers.
(2)Nylon anti-loosening sealing ring
Attach a small piece of nylon material to one side of the thread.
During insertion, the nylon is compressed, generating friction to prevent loosening, and also providing a certain degree of sealing function.
Mainly used in low-pressure situations where anti-loosening is required.
(3)Magnetic + Sealing Integrated
The magnetic Hollow Hex Pipe Plug with Sealing Ring usually has magnets built into its head. The sealing method still uses gasket sealing (parallel threads) or conical thread sealing, and there is no conflict between the two.

For most standard applications (automobiles, general machinery): Select DIN 910 Hollow Hex Pipe Plug with Sealing Ring + copper washers, which are simple, reliable and have the lowest cost.
For high-pressure or frequent disassembly: Choose ED sealing rings, which can be reused and have high sealing pressure.
For ultra-high pressure or compact spaces: Select conical threads (NPT/BSPT) + sealant.
For corrosive or high-temperature environments: Prioritize stainless steel screws + copper washers or FKM ED rings.
