Flare plug for Terex TX760B

The 218-772 flare plug is a component used in the hydraulic quick coupler assembly of the Terex TX760B backhoe loader. It is specifically engineered as a 37-degree flare fitting plug intended for use on the excavator arm, particularly within the standard bucket configuration with side shift. This component serves to seal hydraulic lines or ports that are currently not in use or require temporary isolation during maintenance or attachment changes.

By providing a secure seal, this plug prevents the loss of hydraulic fluid and protects the internal circuits from the ingress of dirt, debris, and other environmental contaminants. Maintaining the integrity of these ports is necessary to ensure the overall pressure and efficiency of the machine hydraulic system. This component is compatible with the Terex TX760B model.

In hydraulic systems, flare plugs are used to close off open ends of tubing or hose assemblies. The 37-degree flare design creates a metal-to-metal seal when tightened against a corresponding flared tube end, ensuring that the connection remains closed under operational pressures.
