1. Plug 

 
Straight and elbow plugs are available in two different nominal sizes (NS): NS 8 and NS 12.  
Fir-tree sizes (designated as “nominal width”, NW) differ in respect to the inner diameter of  
the tube. Different nominal widths can be distinguished by color markings on the retaining 
element. The plug is made of polyamide and will be supplied with a protective cap. The  
system is available with different O-ring materials depending on the fluid.
