How to choose

• A plug fills a female port or fitting; a cap covers a male end. Male thread showing = you need a cap; open hole = you need a plug.
• Measure the thread outside diameter and match it to the size column – the dash number in brackets is the thread size in 1/16ths of an inch.
• Not sure which thread standard you have? Grab the thread identification chart below or call us with a photo.

Technicians Advice

SAE flare is 45°, JIC is 37° – same threads in several sizes, different cone. A JIC plug in an SAE swivel contacts on a knife edge and will seal just long enough to embarrass you. Check the cone angle when the thread matches but the joint still weeps.
