Weld bung M18x1.5 stainless steel

M18x1.5 Stainless Steel Weld-In Bung for Lambda Sensor

The M18x1.5 RVS weld-in bung is a critical component for integrating a lambda (oxygen) sensor into an exhaust system. This high quality, durable component allows you to safely and efficiently install a lambda sensor into your exhaust pipe, downpipe or header, and provides real-time feedback on the air-fuel ratio (AFR) for optimal engine tuning and performance.

Key Features:

• Thread Size: The M18x1.5 weld-in bung is designed to accommodate lambda sensors with an M18x1.5 thread size, a common size for modern oxygen sensors used in automotive, powersports and performance tuning applications. This ensures a precise fit, ensuring no leaks or misalignment of the sensor.

• Material: Made from high quality stainless steel, the bung is resistant to corrosion, heat and pressure, making it perfect for use in the extreme temperatures of exhaust systems. Stainless steel is known for its longevity, ensuring that the bung can withstand the harsh conditions found in race cars and performance vehicles.

• Weld-In Design: The bung is specifically designed to be welded into exhaust systems. It has a smooth, easy-to-weld surface that makes installation simple. The shape of the bung ensures a secure fit once welded, so it won't loosen or leak over time, even at high exhaust pressures.

• Durable and Heat Resistant: Stainless steel is an excellent material for exhaust related parts because it can withstand extremely high temperatures (up to several hundred degrees Celsius), making it suitable for the harsh conditions found in exhaust systems. This ensures the longevity and reliability of the bung and sensor.

• Lambda Sensor Compatible: The M18x1.5 weld-in bung is designed to work with lambda sensors (also known as O2 sensors). These sensors are critical for monitoring the air-fuel mixture in your engine. Properly tuning the air-fuel ratio is essential for maintaining optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control. Lambda sensors provide feedback to the ECU to adjust fuel delivery and ignition timing.

Applications:

• Exhaust Systems: The bung can be welded into various types of exhaust systems such as headers, downpipes or tailpipes, so that lambda sensors can be installed for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the air-fuel ratio.

• Motorsports and Performance Tuning: This product is essential for automotive enthusiasts, tuners and racers who want to measure and optimize air-fuel ratios to maximize engine performance. It is widely used in applications requiring precision fuel management such as turbocharged engines, nitrous systems and custom performance vehicles.

• Aftermarket Modifications: If you're modifying your exhaust system or replacing your existing oxygen sensor, the M18x1.5 weld-in bung is perfect for custom installations, giving you flexibility in where and how you install the sensors for better tuning.

• Emissions Control: Used for emissions testing or when vehicles are retrofitted with a more accurate air-fuel ratio monitoring system to improve emissions control.

Advantages:

• High Quality Construction: Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance, durability and high heat resistance, which extends the life of both the bung and lambda sensors.

• Precise Fit: The M18x1.5 thread size ensures compatibility with most oxygen sensors used in modern vehicles, creating a reliable seal that prevents exhaust leaks and maintains sensor performance.

• Improved Engine Tuning: Installing the lambda sensor allows for precise control of the air-fuel ratio, resulting in better engine tuning, improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and enhanced engine performance.

• Easy Installation: The simple weld-in design allows this bung to be installed by a professional welder or exhaust fabricator. The design of the bung ensures it remains secure and leak-free, even under the toughest driving conditions.

• Versatile Application: Suitable for both naturally aspirated and forced induction engines, this weld-in bung is compatible with most aftermarket exhaust systems, making it a versatile solution for engine builders and tuners.

Installation:

1. Location: Choose a location on the exhaust system for installation, usually after the engine and catalytic converter for the most accurate air-fuel ratio measurements.
2. Welding: Use a TIG or MIG welder to securely weld the bung to the exhaust pipe or header. Ensure a clean, strong weld to prevent leaks and ensure durability.
3. Lambda Sensor Installation: Once the bung is installed and the weld has cooled, screw in the lambda sensor. Tighten to the specified torque to ensure a secure connection.
4. Connection to ECU: Wire the sensor to the vehicle's ECU for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the air-fuel ratio.

Specifications:

• Thread size: M18x1.5
• Material: Stainless steel (resistant to high temperatures and corrosion)
• Bung Diameter: Usually 22mm (for M18x1.5 thread sensor)
• Outside Diameter: Varies depending on specific application
• Height/Length: Varies depending on specific bung design
