Stainless Steel Ball Plungers

Ball Plungerx

Locking Element
Ball Plunger drawing

The wrench slot on the ball end only of Ball Plungers with #4, #5 or #6 threads has been eliminated.

Plungers may be ordered with or without the locking element. Plungers without element are the same price, but are considered "specials" and cannot be returned. We recommend using without the locking element for applications in aluminum.

To prevent possible spring damage, use of a Northwestern Wrench is recommended when installing from plunger end.

End pressures are given in pounds. Full pressures are the force pounds needed to move the nose the distance shown in "C" columns.

The nylon locking element holds the plunger body securely in place without the need for lock nuts or other devices. We recommend a 90° countersink 1/32" larger than the major diameter of the mating thread to prevent damaging the element.

All parts conform to TCMAI/NIJFCM standards

All parts are made of stainless steel for maximum protection against rust and corrosion.

*These Ball Plunger part numbers have a nylon patch as the locking element. All others have a pellet.

**Plain Ends— Light Pressures; Black Ends — Medium Pressures; Yellow Ends — Heavy Pressures
