Is the Walterscheid™ VSTI-ME Carbon Steel Plug compatible with DIN 3852 type E threaded ports and standard elastomer gaskets?

Yes. The Walterscheid™ VSTI-ME Carbon Steel Plug is compatible with DIN 3852 type E threaded ports and standard elastomer gaskets. It features an external metric thread with sealing specifically designed in accordance with DIN 3852 type E, using an elastomer gasket with a rectangular cross-section to ensure secure, durable sealing. The part’s carbon steel construction, Guardian Seal™ galvanic coating, and 4:1 safety factor further support reliable performance in DIN 3852 type E applications.

Can the Walterscheid™ VSTI-ME Carbon Steel Plug be used in high-pressure mobile hydraulic systems requiring a 4:1 safety factor?

Yes. The Walterscheid™ VSTI-ME Carbon Steel Plug is engineered for high-pressure mobile hydraulic systems and explicitly states a robust safety factor of 4:1. Key points supporting its suitability: - Safety factor: Designed with a 4:1 safety factor, meeting your requirement. - Construction: Made from premium carbon steel for strength under load. - Sealing: External metric thread with DIN 3852 type E sealing using an elastomer rectangular gasket, providing reliable leak prevention under pressure. - Series options: Available in L (light) and S (heavy) series to match different system demands. - Corrosion and wear resistance: Guardian Seal™ galvanic coating extends service life in harsh environments. - Installation: Hexagon socket enables correct torqueing and secure fit, important for maintaining integrity at high pressures. Ensure selection of the appropriate series (L vs S), correct sizing, compatible elastomer material for your fluids/temperatures, and proper installation torque. For critical or certified applications, verify final suitability against system pressure specs, operating temperature, fluid compatibility, and relevant standards or perform engineering validation.
