Abstract
A hydraulic manifold plug includes a plug body defining a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis. The manifold includes at least one receiving hole configured to releasably receive at least one positioning key associated with a manifold press. The plug body includes an opening defined by the plug body. The opening is at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. The plug body also includes an inner surface defined by the opening and having a concave shape. The plug body is configured to be positioned in a manifold port extending along the longitudinal axis by way of the at least one receiving hole receiving the at least one positioning key. The one positioning key aligns the plug body such that the transverse axis is substantially parallel to a lateral axis defined by a channel of the manifold that forms an angle with the manifold port.
