Is the Walterscheid™ VKA Plug, Carbon Steel compatible with standard DIN 2353 type M nuts and fittings for leak‑free hydraulic connections?

Yes. The Walterscheid™ VKA Plug, Carbon Steel is compatible with standard DIN 2353 type M nuts and fittings for leak‑free hydraulic connections. It features a precision‑engineered 24° cone paired with an integrated NBR O‑ring, specifically designed to seat correctly in DIN 2353 type M nuts to provide secure, leak‑free sealing. Available in LL, L and S series to match different system requirements, and manufactured from carbon steel with Guardian Seal™ galvanic coating, it offers durable, corrosion‑resistant performance for reliable hydraulic connections.

Does the Walterscheid™ VKA Plug, Carbon Steel require special torque values or installation tools beyond standard DIN 2353 assembly procedures?

Walterscheid™ VKA Plug, Carbon Steel Format does not require special torque values or proprietary installation tools beyond standard DIN 2353 assembly procedures. It is designed around the DIN 2353 24° cone system and an integrated NBR O‑ring to seal properly when assembled with the corresponding DIN 2353 type M nut using the usual wrenches and torque practices for DIN 2353 fittings. Recommended practice: - Follow standard DIN 2353 tightening procedure and torque tables for the tube fitting size and series (LL, L, S) being used. - Use calibrated wrenches or torque tools as per normal assembly quality controls; no unique or additional tool is necessary. - Inspect cone and nut surfaces for damage and ensure O‑ring seating; replace components if damaged. - Apply recommended sealant/lubricant only if specified in your installation guidelines or by Eaton Walterscheid™, otherwise assemble dry per DIN 2353 practice. - After assembly, perform pressure/leak test per system requirements. If your application involves atypical materials, coatings, extreme temperatures or critical safety conditions, consult Eaton Walterscheid™ or product documentation for any specific torque adjustments or instructions.
