Reversible Thread Plug Gages from Thread Check, Inc.

Reversible gages are available in thread sizes up to ¾ of an inch. The reversible thread plug gage style allows for one end of the gage to be rotated so the user gets two gages in one. A worn thread gage end can be turned around by simply opening the collet of the handle and turning the thread plug gage and bushing around so the opposite end essentially becomes a new gage. The reversible thread plug gage style is ideal in high volume inspection applications.

Reversible gages are manufactured to X tolerances in class 2B or 3B in inches and 6H in metric. All standard reversible gages are stocked in chrome coating which extends the wear life of the thread gauge by more than 100% thus providing dramatic savings in replacement costs.

Taperlock Thread Plug Gages

Taperlock gages are available in thread sizes up to 1 ½ inches in diameter. These thread plug gauges are less expensive than reversible thread plug gauges. Taperlock thread plug gauges are considered the most popular style. The taperlock thread plug gage allows for a quick and convenient replacement of the gage member. A worn thread gage can be simply removed and a new replacement thread gage inserted into the handle by press fitting.

Taperlock gages are manufactured to X tolerances in class 2B or 3B in inches and 6H in metric. All standard taperlock gages are stocked in chrome coating which extends the wear life of the thread gage by more than 100% thus providing dramatic savings in replacement costs.

Trilock Style Thread Plug Gauges

Trilock style thread plug gauges are available from 1 ½ inches up to 16.00 inches and larger. Trilock gages are reversible style so that both ends of the gages can be used. The gage member is fastened to the handle by a center bolt assembly. To reduce weight, single end thread plug gage assemblies are typically offered for diameters of 3.0 inches and larger.

Trilock gages are manufactured to X tolerances in class 2B or 3B in inches and 6H in metric. Each STI thread gauge is manufactured to a class X tolerance. Class W tolerance gages are priced on request.
