Amflo 1/4″ T Design x 1/4″ FNPT Steel Plug (CP2)

The Amflo 1/4″ T Design x 1/4″ FNPT Steel Plug (CP2) is a fundamental component for any pneumatic air system, designed to provide a secure and efficient connection point for air tools and equipment. This plug, commonly referred to as a 1/4″ Automotive Standard Series Type “C” fitting, adheres to industry standards, ensuring broad compatibility with existing air couplers. Constructed from plated steel, the CP2 plug is engineered for consistent performance and resistance to wear. Its specific 1/4″ FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper) threading allows for a reliable seal when attaching to a male threaded port on an air hose, tool, or manifold. Each plug is heat-treated, a critical process that enhances its surface hardness, significantly reducing wear on vital mating surfaces during repeated connections and disconnections. This attention to material integrity ensures a longer service life and sustained operational efficiency for your pneumatic setup. The Amflo CP2 is built to manage a maximum working pressure of 300 PSI, making it suitable for a wide range of automotive, workshop, and industrial applications where reliable air flow is essential. Conveniently packaged in boxes of 10, these plugs provide an economical and practical solution for both professional tradespeople and dedicated enthusiasts who require dependable air fittings.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Standard Compatibility: 1/4″ Automotive Standard Series Type “C” design ensures interchangeability with widely used air couplers and other fittings.
• Secure Connection: 1/4″ FNPT threading provides a tight and dependable seal with male threaded ports, minimizing air leaks.
• Enhanced Durability: Plated steel construction, coupled with specific heat treatment, reduces wear on mating surfaces, extending the product’s lifespan.
• High Pressure Rating: Capable of handling a maximum working pressure of 300 PSI, suitable for various demanding pneumatic applications.
• Convenient Packaging: Supplied in a box of 10 plugs, offering a practical quantity for multiple applications or replacements.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Style: T Design (Automotive Standard Series Type “C”)
• Body Size: 1/4″
• Thread Type: FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper)
• Thread Size: 1/4″
• Material: Plated Steel
• Maximum Working Pressure: 300 PSI

HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Connection: Ensure the air tool, hose, or manifold you wish to connect has a corresponding 1/4″ male NPT threaded port.
• Apply Thread Sealant (Optional but Recommended): For an even more secure and leak-free connection, apply a small amount of PTFE (Teflon) tape or pipe thread sealant to the male threads before attaching the plug.
• Thread the Plug: Carefully thread the Amflo CP2 plug onto the male NPT threaded port. Turn clockwise until finger-tight.
• Tighten the Connection: Using a wrench, gently tighten the plug an additional 1 to 2 turns beyond finger-tight. Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the threads or fitting.
• Connect to Coupler: Once the plug is securely installed, insert the plug into a compatible 1/4″ T Design air coupler on your air line. The coupler will click into place, securing the connection.
• Test for Leaks: Activate your air compressor and check for any audible air leaks around the connection. If a leak is detected, re-tighten the plug slightly or re-apply thread sealant.
