Key Features & Benefits
1. Advanced Material Science
Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V):
Tensile strength: 950 MPa (vs. 580 MPa for Grade 8 steel).
Temperature range: -250°C to 500°C without degradation.
Non-magnetic and biocompatible – ideal for medical or electronics applications.
Weight: As low as 11.27g (M12 size), reducing unsprung mass in vehicles.
2. Magnetic Contamination Control
High-strength neodymium magnet captures ferrous particles as small as 35 microns, preventing engine damage from abrasive wear.
Diagnostic tool: Accumulated metal debris on the plug tip signals internal engine wear (e.g., bearing failure).
3. Precision Engineering
CNC-machined with rolled threads for fatigue resistance.
Pre-drilled hex head for safety wiring (DIN 1587 compliant).
Flange design: Serrated options prevent loosening under vibration.
4. Corrosion Resistance
Immune to saltwater, acids, and UV exposure – outperforms stainless steel in marine/offshore use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why choose titanium over steel or aluminum for a sump plug?
A: Titanium offers 40% weight savings vs. steel, superior corrosion resistance, and higher fatigue strength. Unlike aluminum, it won’t gall or deform under repeated torque cycles.
Q: Can I reuse the plug after an oil change?
A: Yes, but inspect the magnet for excessive debris and replace the crush washer every time.
Q: Can I get a custom thread size or length?
A: Yes! We offer:
Metric/Imperial threads (M10–M24, 3/8"–1" NPT)
Extended/reduced-length designs
Left-hand threads for specific applications
Q: Do you offer colored anodized versions?
A: Yes—choose from gold, blue, red, or black for easy identification or aesthetic matching.
Q: How does titanium handle extreme heat/cold?
A: Grade 5 titanium remains stable from -250°C to 500°C (–418°F to 932°F)—ideal for turbocharged engines or Arctic conditions.
