22301936 Plug | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Threaded plug used to close a machined Volvo Penta engine or propulsion-system port. Its thread, length, sealing method and pressure rating are specific to the housing and must be matched to the original position.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

• Volvo Penta TAD580-83VE

• Engine Family: TAD

⚙️ Key Features

• Factory thread and head geometry
• Closes a pressure or service port
• Uses the specified sealing ring or thread seal
• Designed for engine temperature and vibration
• Fitment controlled by housing and serial number
• Engine type: Volvo Penta marine or industrial engine/propulsion system

🔌 Function

Closes the assigned drilled passage or service opening and retains the system fluid or pressure.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Rounded drive head
• Corrosion or seizure
• Missing or damaged sealing element

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean the threads and the seating face before fitting, and make sure the opening itself is clear of old sealant, swarf and corrosion
• Renew the sealing washer or O-ring where one is fitted rather than reusing a flattened one, and only use thread sealant where the workshop manual for your engine calls for it
• Tighten to the figure given in the workshop manual for your engine — plugs in aluminium and other soft castings strip easily, and a plug pulled up hard to cure a leak usually distorts the seat and makes it worse
• Where the plug closes an oil, fuel or coolant passage, run the engine up to temperature afterwards and check the joint under pressure before signing the job off
• Keep removed plugs paired with the holes they came out of during a strip-down — plugs of very similar appearance often differ in thread, reach or sealing type
