Metric tapered plug with o-ring / Blanking plug with o-ring
The VKA DKOL conical plug for M14x1.5 nut in size 8L is a component intended for temporary or permanent sealing of lines and ports in hydraulic power systems.. Thanks to the conical DKOL-type seal, it ensures the tightness of the connection without the need for additional seals, even at a working pressure of up to 500 bar.. This solution is commonly used in light-duty metric systems.
What is a VKA DKOL tapered plug
The VKA DKOL tapered plug is a closing element that is mounted under a standard nut with a 24° tapered socket.. Its task is to securely seal an unused port, hose, or connector in a hydraulic system.. The DKOL cone cooperates directly with the sealing socket, which eliminates the risk of leaks and simplifies assembly. These types of plugs are often used during pressure tests, machine servicing, and during the transport of hydraulic components.
Construction and execution
The body of the plug is made of high-quality steel, resistant to high pressure and mechanical loads occurring in power hydraulics.. The precisely manufactured 24° cone guarantees a correct fit to the DKOL socket, which directly affects the durability and tightness of the connection.. The surface of the element is protected against corrosion, which allows the plug to be used in both stationary and mobile installations operating in harsh environmental conditions.
Application of DKOL M14x1.5 8L 500bar Plug
The VKA DKOL M14x1.5 8L tapered plug finds application in a wide range of hydraulic installations. It is used for blanking off wires and ports in construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery.. It is useful during the service of power hydraulics systems when there is a need to temporarily disconnect a hose, as well as in new installations where not all outlets are immediately used.. Thanks to the permissible pressure of 500 bar, the plug can be safely used in high-pressure systems.
Industries and areas of use
This type of plug is commonly used in hydraulic power services, maintenance facilities, the machinery industry, agriculture, and the construction sector.. This is a universal element, compatible with metric light series connectors, therefore it finds application in many types of hydraulic machines and equipment.
Practical information and assembly
The installation of the DKOL conical plug consists of placing it under the M14x1.5 nut and tightening it to the recommended torque for the given size.. There is no need to use additional seals, as the sealing is achieved on the cone. During assembly, it is worth paying attention to the cleanliness of the socket and the sealing surface to avoid micro-leaks.. The element is suitable for both temporary installation and long-term operation.
