Applications:

Pete's Plugs are well suited for most plant and pipeline systems including hot and chilled water systems, heat exchangers, pumps, differential readings, air, gas lines, and many other applications. The XL Pete's Plug will allow you to insulate the test point without adding extra fittings.

Valve Materials:

Neoprene is a chloroprene based synthetic rubber and is resistant to deterioration from waxes, fats, oils, greases, petroleum products, and most refrigerants. Nordel is an ethylene-propylene based synthetic rubber for hot and cold water, low steam, detergents, phosphate esters, ketone, alcohols, and glycols. It is not suitable for petroleum products. Neoprene and nordel are proprietary materials of others and assume no liability for results obtained or damages incurred through the application of this information. The information is intended simply as a guide.

Operating Instructions

The cap protects the valve and provides an additional seal. After the cap has been removed, either a test thermometer or a gauge adapter with the proper pressure gauge can be inserted through the two, self-closing valves in the Pete's Plug II. Readings are made, adjustments or test can be accomplished and when the probes are withdrawn, the two valves close. The protective cap is then reinstalled. Tests should be made as quickly as possible since the valve reseal time is dependent upon time of insertion, time, and pressure. Slower valve reseal time can be expected at lower temperature and lower pressures. Cap retaining straps are standard on all brass plugs.

Installation Instructions:

Simply install a Pressure & Temperature Plug into 1/4" or 1/2" NPT fitting to receive either a 1/16" or 1/8" OD temperature & pressure probe.

The pressure gauge adapter has a probe constructed of 304 stainless steel. The probe is 1/16" or 1/8" in diameter and extends 2" (1 1/2" exposed probe) on the 312-500 adapter and 3 1/2" (3" exposed probe) on the 312-500-XL adapter. The 1/8" diameter probe operates in either the 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" Plug. The 312-500-XL Pressure Gauge Probe Adapter will operate in any of the Plugs. The 1/16" Pressure Gauge Probe Adapter will only operate on the 311-125-00 1/8" Pete's Plug.

Analog thermometers are constructed of stainless steel, has a 1 3/4" dial and accuracy within 1/2% over the entire scale. Recalibrations is by turning the hex nut on the back of the dial case with stem immersed in a known temperature bath. Digital thermometers have the same specifications as above but can not be recalibrated in the field.
