36358 - Brass Manifold Port Plug

Keep Your Gas System Leak-Free and Safe

When you are running a busy fab shop, the last thing you need is a hissing gas leak costing you money and creating a safety hazard. The ESAB 36358 Plug Manifold is the simple, heavy-duty solution for capping off open ports on your gas system. Whether you are setting up a new manifold, removing a regulator station, or just reconfiguring your shop's gas lines, having the right plug is essential. This isn't just a hardware store fitting; it is a dedicated industrial brass plug designed to handle the high pressures of welding gases like Argon, Oxygen, and CO2.

Built from solid brass, this plug is tough enough to handle the daily grind of an industrial environment. It resists rust and corrosion, meaning it won't seize up if you need to remove it years down the line. The threads are clean and sharp, biting in for a secure hold that gives you peace of mind. A leaky manifold can throw off your flowmeter readings, mess up your weld shielding, and drain your cylinder banks overnight. Using a quality plug like this ensures that every cubic foot of gas you pay for actually makes it to the torch, not into the atmosphere.

Safety is the number one priority when dealing with compressed gases. A blown plug or a slow leak can be disastrous, especially with oxygen or fuel gases. This ESAB plug is designed to withstand the pressure spikes and thermal fluctuations common in manifold systems. It seats firmly and stays put. The hex head is sized for standard wrenches, so you can get it tight without stripping the edges. It’s a small part, but it plays a huge role in the overall safety and efficiency of your welding setup.

Don't compromise your system with mismatched or low-quality fittings. If you have an open port on your manifold, cap it the right way. This plug is ready to work as hard as you do, ensuring your shop air stays clean and your tanks stay full until you're ready to use them. Keep a few in your maintenance kit so you are never caught off guard when you need to change up your gas distribution layout.
