Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Clark CL 16F04 plug pipe designed for?
A: The CL 16F04 is a plug pipe component used in Clark electric lift trucks to seal or blank unused ports in the hydraulic or pneumatic system.
Q: Can I use CL 16F04 as a replacement for CL 16F000004 or CL 16F00000FE?
A: No. These are separate part numbers with different specifications. Do not substitute CL 16F04 for other plug pipe SKUs. Verify the exact part number required for your Clark lift truck model and port configuration.
Q: What port size and thread type does the CL 16F04 fit?
A: The CL 16F04 is designed for a specific port size and thread type on Clark lift trucks. Consult your lift truck manual or Clark parts documentation to confirm the exact thread size and port diameter before ordering.
Q: How often should the CL 16F04 plug pipe be inspected?
A: Inspect plug pipes during routine lift truck maintenance if system leaks are observed. Check for corrosion, thread damage, or visible weeping at the connection. Replace immediately if fluid is leaking from the plugged port.
Q: What is the consequence of an unsealed or leaking plug pipe port?
A: An unsealed port causes hydraulic or pneumatic fluid loss, leading to system pressure drop, reduced lift performance, slower operation, and potential component damage. A leaking CL 16F04 connection must be replaced promptly to maintain lift truck reliability.
