22324013 Plug | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

A genuine locking plug used in the inlet and exhaust system of the Volvo Penta TAD1380-TAD1382GE generator engines. It closes the specified machined port and maintains the designed gas or pressure boundary when installed with the correct sealing method and torque.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

• Volvo Penta TAD1380-82GE
• Volvo Penta TAD1381-85VE
• Volvo Penta TAD1384-85VE-IWP

• Engine Family: TAD

⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta locking plug
• Catalogued in the TAD1380-TAD1382GE inlet and exhaust assembly
• Correct thread, head and seating geometry
• Designed for the original temperature and pressure environment
• Prevents leakage and contamination through an unused service port
• Use the specified sealant, washer or torque procedure from the workshop instruction

🔌 Function

Seals the designated threaded opening in the inlet or exhaust system, preserving pressure integrity and preventing gas leakage or foreign-material entry.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Soot, oil mist or pressure leakage around the plug
• Damaged thread or seating face
• Plug loosening from vibration
• Corrosion or heat damage
• Incorrect substitute plug depth obstructing an internal passage

🛠️ 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
