Zero-Leak Gold Plugs are low torque...what are the installation torque values?

EPCO commissioned the Fluid Power Institute located at the Milwaukee School of Engineering to do tests to determine the Zero-Leak Gold plug torque values necessary to successfully complete the rigorous fluid power industry standard tests.

The FPI test was conducted using both ductile iron and aluminum manifolds produced to normal industry use standards as specified by the FPI / MSOE. The text of the FPI / MSOE test is available at the "FPI Test Data" site at EPCO's home page.

It is important to note that the Zero-Leak Gold plugs completed the entire 1 million cycles of the test without a failure!

The torque values developed are listed in the FPI / MSOE test report and at "Torque Values" at the EPCO home page listing.
