Description

When you need to convert a double-acting hydraulic cylinder to single-acting operation, this breather plug does the job right. Instead of replacing the whole cylinder or rigging up a temporary solution that might fail, you can simply thread this breather into the rod end port and let the cylinder work off gravity return or back pressure.

What You’re Getting

Standard 1/2 inch male pipe thread fits most cylinder ports without adapters
Vented design allows proper air flow while keeping dirt and moisture out
Durable construction handles hydraulic system pressure and temperature cycles
Direct replacement for original equipment conversions

Built for Real Farm Work

This breather plug works on hydraulic cylinders across all types of farm equipment—from loader buckets and three-point implements to hay equipment and attachment cylinders. When you only need the cylinder to work in one direction, or when your hydraulic system doesn’t have enough flow for full double-acting operation, this simple conversion keeps you working.

Made to Last

Farm hydraulic systems see everything from freezing mornings to hot summer days, plus all the dirt, vibration, and pressure that comes with real work. This breather plug handles those conditions with reliable sealing that won’t crack or leak over time.

Installation Notes

Thread the plug into the rod end port of your cylinder with a little pipe sealant—avoid tape that can break loose and contaminate your system. Make sure it’s snug but don’t overtighten and risk cracking the port threads. The breather allows air to move in and out as the cylinder operates while filtering out contaminants.
