Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the Clark CL 16F000004 plug pipe?
A: The CL 16F000004 is a plug pipe used in Clark electric lift truck hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Plug pipes serve as closed-end fittings or blanking components to seal unused ports or connections.
Q: Which Clark lift truck models require the CL 16F000004 plug pipe?
A: The CL 16F000004 is a standard Clark component. To determine if your model uses this plug pipe, verify the specific lift truck model and configuration with Clark documentation or match the part number in your equipment manual.
Q: What material is the CL 16F000004 plug pipe made from?
A: Clark OEM plug pipes are typically manufactured from steel or brass, depending on system requirements. Steel is used for high-pressure hydraulic circuits; brass is used for lower-pressure pneumatic circuits. Verify material compatibility with your system fluid and pressure rating.
Q: Can the CL 16F000004 be substituted with CL 16F00000FE or CL 16F04?
A: No. Do not substitute plug pipes between part numbers. Each SKU is designed for a specific port size, thread type, and pressure rating. Using the wrong plug pipe can cause system leaks, pressure loss, or equipment damage. Verify the exact part number required for your application.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of a plug pipe in a Clark lift truck?
A: A plug pipe is a passive sealing component with no moving parts. When properly installed in a clean system, it should last the operational life of the lift truck. Replace only if threads are damaged, corrosion is visible, or a system leak develops at that connection point.
