Pete's Plug® Test Plugs

Brand: Peterson Equipment Co, Inc
Pete’s inventions include the most popular pressure and temperature reading plugs used today with a 1/4” NPT brass housing. 

This Pete’s Plug® allows for the use of a 1/8” diameter pressure needle to be used without becoming bent or clogged like other standard needles. 

Importantly, the Pete’s Plug® also has two self closing valves for rapid sealing upon removal of the needle or temperature probe. 

A second plug was developed with a 1/2” NPT housing that would allow pressure & temperature readings using a bi-metal thermometer. 

Pete strengthened his original design with a simple but important feature of a rubber strap to keep the plug cap attached to the plug body for easier and longer use out in the field. 

The “Pete’s Plug” is offered in brass and stainless steal with nordel or neoprene cores.
