#PPM12R 3/4 Inch NPT Magnetic Drain Plug Recessed Hex Socket A directfit magnetic drain plug designed to trap ferrous particles and make routine fluid service faster and cleaner. The #PPM12R combines a strong magnetic element with a recessed hex socket for reliable sealing, easy installation, and secure removal in systems that use 3/4' NPT drain fittings. Key benefits Protects equipment: The magnet captures metal filings and wear debris before they circulate, reducing component wear and extending service life. Simple service: Recessed hex socket allows secure tool engagement for fast removal and installation without stripping or damage to the plug head. Dropin compatibility: 3/4' NPT thread fits standard 3/4' NPT drain ports for straightforward replacement of existing drain plugs. Main features and attributes Model: #PPM12R Thread size: 3/4' NPT — compatible with standard 3/4' NPT drain ports Function: Magnetic capture of ferrous particles in drained fluids Drive: Recessed hex socket for secure tool engagement during install/removal Design focus: Reliability and ease of maintenance for serviceable fluid reservoirs How it solves common problems Reduces contaminationrelated failures by trapping metal debris at the drain point Makes routine oil or fluid changes cleaner and quicker, lowering downtime Minimizes risk of rounded plug heads or stripped fasteners because of the recessed hex drive Typical applications Engine oil pans and sumps for small engines, generators, and lightduty equipment that use a 3/4' NPT drain Transmissions, differentials, and gearboxes where magnetic filtration at the drain point helps collect wear particles Hydraulic reservoirs and industrial machinery with 3/4' NPT ports to improve maintenance practices and protect pumps and valves Installation and maintenance notes Install into a clean, matching 3/4' NPT port and tighten with the appropriate hex key inserted into the recessed socket. Use recommended torque for your equipment's drain plug (consult equipment specifications). During routine fluid changes, remove the plug and wipe the magnetic tip to dispose of collected metal particles. Reinstall securely to maintain a proper seal. Inspect the recess and magnet area for damage or excessive debris and the plug if threads, drive recess, or magnetic element are compromised. Compatibility and fit Intended for systems using 3/4' NPT drain fittings. Confirm thread size and pitch before installation. Designed as a directreplacement style magnetic drain plug where a recessed hex socket drive is acceptable. Reliable maintenance improvement for any system that uses 3/4' NPT drains. The #PPM12R offers a practical way to capture metal debris at the source while providing a secure, servicefriendly drive interface.
