Plug Gages

Plug Gages — New & Used
Plug gages (also called plug gauges or go/no-go gages) are used to quickly verify hole size, location, and thread quality in production parts. From plain plug gages for smooth bores to thread plug gages for internal threads, they provide a simple pass/fail check that keeps machining, assembly, and quality processes on spec.
At Surplus Select, we stock a rotating selection of new and used OEM plug gages including GO/NO-GO sets, master plugs, and specialty sizes. Our inventory updates daily, offering surplus pricing for machine shops, inspection labs, and manufacturers who need reliable gauging without full metrology list pricing.
Find Your Plug Gage Fast (Search-First)
- Search your part number or marking (e.g., .2500 GO, M10 x 1.5 GO/NO-GO, 1/8-27 NPTF plug gage).
- No PN? Try specs like "thread plug gage", "plain plug gage .5000", or "H3 class plug gage".
- Need a specific style? Add details such as GO/NO-GO, taper pipe (NPT, NPTF), metric, or class X/XX to your search.
