O-Ring Boss (ORB) Plug
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Product Overview
This plug uses a straight (non-tapered) thread with an O-ring groove, sealing by compressing the O-ring against a boss port face rather than relying on thread engagement and sealant the way a tapered NPT plug does. That gives a more consistent, leak-free seal in hydraulic manifolds and cylinder ports, and avoids the variability of hand-applied thread tape or sealant.
We supply this plug to hydraulic component manufacturers and fluid power system builders who need a reliable, repeatable port-sealing solution across common SAE dash sizes.

Key Advantages
- O-ring sealing against the boss face gives a more consistent, leak-free seal than a tapered thread relying on sealant alone.
- Straight thread design avoids the thread-engagement variability that can occur with tapered NPT sealing.
- Standard SAE dash sizes match common hydraulic manifold and cylinder port dimensions without custom machining.
- Multiple O-ring compound options let the plug be matched to the system's fluid type and temperature range.
- Hex socket drive allows flush, low-profile installation in compact manifold layouts.
