I save those plastic plugs from every plumbing, hydraulic fitting, or replacement part I buy. I have several coffee cans full of them. Probably the most indispensable throw away item ever invented. I use them and reuse them over and over and cringe when ever I see someone step on one that has fallen to the ground. A customer thought I was nuts when I told him to take care removing them and to save them instead of tossing them in the trash until he tried to return a very expensive valve he bought that had the wrong porting and spool configuration the supplier wanted to charge him over a $1000.00 dollars. He said I'll be back in a couple of hours. rummaged through my stash and found some new looking identical plugs went back traded out the valve only a $25.00 restock fee. Now a believer for life, and I am no longer the nutty guy who saves plugs from the trash.
