The dark grey finish provides a clean, professional appearance that integrates seamlessly with standard industrial housings.

Suitable for

• Sealing unused M16x1.5 threaded holes in electrical enclosures
• Protecting junction boxes in industrial automation systems
• Maintaining IP68 integrity in control panels and housings
• Applications requiring reliable moisture and dust resistance

When it may not be suitable

This product is specifically designed for M16x1.5 threaded entries and will not fit other thread sizes or types. It is intended for use with polyamide or compatible enclosures and may not be the optimal choice for high-temperature environments exceeding the thermal limits of polyamide material.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16x1.5
• Material: Polyamide
• Protection rating: IP68
• Color: Dark Grey
• Included component: O-ring

How to use

To install the blanking plug, ensure the threaded hole is clean and free of debris. Simply screw the plug into the M16x1.5 threaded entry by hand or using a suitable tool until the O-ring is firmly compressed against the surface of the enclosure. This compression creates the necessary seal to achieve the IP68 rating. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the plastic threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your enclosure entry is exactly M16x1.5
• Check the wall thickness of your housing to ensure compatibility
• Confirm the environmental temperature range of your installation site

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure the O-ring is correctly seated and not pinched during installation. Regularly inspect the plug during routine maintenance to ensure it remains securely tightened.
