Where do you guys find 1/8 NPT Allen Plugs?

[xero28]

I just picked up a cerberus gas-thru foregrip, so I've got 3 or 4 inlet ports I need to close off. I've checked my local hardware store looking for these 1/8 NPT allen plugs:



All I can find local are brass or nickel plugs that look like burst disks. Google searches bring up results for $4-10 per plug! Anyone know where I can pick up a handful of these for a decent price?

Thanks in advance.

Well...this one says the max pressure is 150 PSI? BigEvil's say up to 5000 psi. Is that correct? Would they work with 800 PSI going through them? Because I'd go with those since they are 70% cheaper.

I would have to say that the higher pressure one is better. Obvioulsy, but I would also guess that the ones you get at the local hardware store are only rated for 150 pis too.

Contact CP and tell them that you have a bunch of CP ASA's that need extra 1/8 NPT plugs.

I received 3 silver ones for free.

I know for a fact ACE hardware has them. If there is one out by you then you ae in luck!


Otherwise, online is the only way and from what I've read (in this thread0 there are plenty of sources.

bought a couple on ebay, stainless version, I dislike the zinc coated and black ones, stainless goes with all my other stainless screws

Watcher called it. i've always had good luck finding all the little odds and ends i need for screws and plugs there. pretty cheap too. if you have one nearby, go for it.

i've got some of those same plugs from ACE sitting in my RT Classics. i'm not sure what they're rated to, but they hold up just fine under 1200 psi for me.

Thanks for all of the help guys. I wish there was an Ace nearby. The closest one is about 30 minutes away. (when it takes 6 minutes to drive across town, that's far) I ended up just going with the ones from McMaster-Carr that were rated for the higher psi. They were only .80 each. 10 of them plus shipping cost me just under $13. I ordered them yesterday morning and I just checked the UPS tracking and they are already on the truck here in town and will be delivered today.

McMaster rules. I work not to far from one of them. If I order before 9 I get my order delivered via messenger in 1-2 hrs.
