Installation & Usage Tips
-
Confirm that the threaded hole or gland plate is compatible with M18 × 1.5 threading.
-
Clean the mating threads and sealing surfaces before installation.
-
Tighten sufficiently to compress the sealing element (if present) but avoid over-torque which can damage threads or crush O-rings.
-
For environments requiring ingress protection, ensure the plug’s seal rating (IP66, IP68 etc.) meets requirements.
-
Select material compatible with the chemical / environmental conditions (e.g. brass or stainless steel in corrosive environments, nylon for lighter duty or indoor use).
