Tecnoseal Caterpillar Brass & Stainless Steel Plugs for Engine Heat Exchanger Pencil Anodes
Tecnoseal replacement plugs are designed for pencil anodes used in Caterpillar marine engine heat exchangers and cooling systems. These threaded fittings provide a mounting connection for compatible sacrificial anode rods and are available separately when the original plug requires replacement.
The range includes 15 configurations, with 14 brass models and one stainless steel version. The plugs have different external connections, including tapered BSPT pipe threads, a 1/2" NPT connection and UNF threaded versions. Internal connections vary from 1/4" UNC to 3/4" UNC and include specific UNF thread sizes. The 02021-2TP and 02027-1TP models also have mounting dimensions specified in millimetres.
The brass plugs are available in compact and larger configurations, with head dimensions from 10 to 25 mm and individual weights from 0.02 to 0.28 kg. The stainless steel 02029-2TP features a 1/2"-20 UNF external thread and a 1/4"-20 UNC internal connection. These different configurations allow the correct fitting to be selected according to the original Caterpillar part reference and existing heat exchanger connection.

Application
- Caterpillar marine engine heat exchangers
- Compatible Caterpillar marine cooling systems
- Replacement mounting fittings for sacrificial pencil anodes
Key Features
- 15 replacement plug configurations for Caterpillar pencil anodes.
- 14 brass models and one stainless steel model.
- Available with BSPT, NPT, UNC and UNF threaded connections.
- Different internal connections for compatible sacrificial anode rods.
- Available in 1TP and 2TP configurations.
- Supplied separately without zinc or aluminium anode rods.
- Original Caterpillar part references for replacement identification.
Model Selection
Select the replacement plug by matching the external thread, internal anode connection, head dimension and original part number. BSPT and NPT tapered threads must not be treated as interchangeable solely because their nominal sizes match. Similarly, plugs with the same external thread may have different internal connections or head dimensions.
The 02023TP, 02024-1TP and 02024TP models share the same listed dimensions and are cross-referenced in the Tecnoseal range. Verify the existing mounting fitting and the required anode connection before ordering.
