Cummins Threaded plug

Part: Cummins Threaded plug

Part Number: 3089023

Manufacturer: Cummins

The Threaded Plug, designed specifically for use in Cummins engines, is a critical component used to seal threaded openings in various engine parts and systems. This plug plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the engine by preventing leaks, contamination, or the entry of foreign materials that could compromise the engine’s performance. Threaded plugs are commonly used in a variety of areas within the engine, such as oil passages, coolant systems, and other sections that require secure and reliable closure.

By ensuring tight, leak-proof seals, the threaded plug helps to maintain optimal fluid pressure and prevents potential damage to sensitive engine components. This also reduces the risk of contamination in systems like the oil or coolant, which could lead to performance issues, overheating, or excessive wear. Additionally, by keeping out dirt and debris, threaded plugs contribute to the overall durability and longevity of the engine, ensuring it continues to operate smoothly over time.

The design and material of the threaded plug are specifically tailored to withstand the high temperatures, pressures, and harsh conditions within the engine environment. Regular inspection of threaded plugs is essential to ensure that they remain intact and free from wear or damage. Replacing a damaged or worn threaded plug promptly can prevent costly repairs and protect the engine from potential failures caused by leaks or contamination. Ultimately, the threaded plug plays a significant role in maintaining the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of Cummins engines.
