Installation / Usage Notes
-
Ensure thread compatibility (M16 × 1.5) with the hole or gland plate.
-
When inserting the blanking plug, tighten until the seal compresses (if it has an O-ring) but avoid over-torque.
-
For environments requiring high ingress protection, choose designs rated IP66 / IP68 and ensure the plug’s sealing surfaces are clean and undamaged.
-
Consider material compatibility with the environment (e.g. brass for corrosion resistance, nylon for light weight / general indoor use).
