DEHYDRATOR PLUG 18 MM AN4062-1

March 14, 2023

My floatplane sits for 6 months ou of the year and its nice when almost all the plugs are still blue indicating that there was no moisture present. The ones that turn a bit pink tells me they are doing their job.

Great indicator for engine preservation as well as easy to change out with dried desiccant. Wish they sold replacement rubber gaskets for them.

DEHYDRATOR PLUG 18 MM AN4062-1

February 15, 2022

I ordered these because they are rechargeable and my plane will be out of commission due to some damage. As others have said the threads are to big and you need to run them through a 8 x 1.5mm die to get them to screw in correctly.

Works as advertised. Install by hand with a sparkplug socket they do not break.

The ones I purchased many years ago are great. No problems screwing them in the spark plug holes. I dont know about the latest versions and the present day quality control. The main things Im disappointed with is, the lack of parts for them especially the rubber gaskets, as they dont seem to last especially when exposed to oil.

Q: Do the dehydrator plugs come with silica gel/desiccant or do you have to buy it separately?

The AN4062-1 Dehydrator plugs come with the silica gel / desiccant. It is sold separately in case customers need more gel but already have the plugs.

Q: What size are the threads for the dehydrator plugs?

The thread size is 18mm threads.

Q: Do you have 14 mm dehydrator plugs?

No. We do not stock 14MM dehydrator plugs, but if you let our sales staff know how many you need, we can try to special order them for you.

Q: Will I need 8 or is 4 sufficient?

It is our belief you would want one in every spark plug hole, but that would depend on the engine manual recommendations.
