Ticon 903-02161-0000 M18x1.5 Titanium O2 Sensor Bung Weld-In CP1

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal Fabrication Component. Designed for welding into titanium tubing or components to accept any standard M18 x 1.5 oxygen sensor.

Fitment Notes

• Requires TIG welding for permanent installation. Argon back-purging is strictly required when welding titanium.
• Compatible with all standard wideband O2 sensors (e.g., Bosch LSU 4.9, etc.) which utilize the M18 x 1.5 thread pitch.
• Must be installed in an area that prevents heat shield interference but allows for adequate exhaust gas sampling.

Features

• Constructed from high-purity, ultra-lightweight Grade 1 (CP1) Commercially Pure Titanium.
• Features precision-machined M18 x 1.5 thread pitch for guaranteed compatibility with standard sensors.
• Integrated weld lip aids in the TIG welding process, ensuring a strong and uniform circumferential joint.
• Ideal for custom turbo downpipes, exhaust systems, and test sections where weight savings are critical.
• Titanium offers superior resistance to heat, corrosion, and exhaust condensation compared to steel.
• Allows for the easy installation of wideband sensors for accurate air/fuel ratio monitoring and tuning.
• The CP1 material ensures a clean weld and maintains the structural integrity of the surrounding titanium pipe.
• Low-profile design minimizes intrusion into the flow path while ensuring a positive sensor seal.

Product Description

The Ticon Industries 903-02161-0000 Titanium O2 Sensor Bung is a critical component for high-performance fabrication, allowing the clean, permanent installation of any standard M18 x 1.5 oxygen sensor into a custom exhaust or manifold system. Fabricated from Commercially Pure Grade 1 (CP1) Titanium, this bung provides maximum durability and corrosion resistance, particularly crucial in the hostile, high-heat environment of a turbocharged exhaust. The use of titanium ensures that the component adds minimal weight to the final assembly, aligning with high-end motorsport construction standards.

This weld-in bung features an integrated weld lip, specifically designed to optimize the TIG welding process for titanium, ensuring a precise and structurally sound fusion to the pipe wall. **Installation must be performed using the TIG welding process with argon back-purging** to prevent atmospheric contamination of the titanium weld zone. The precision-cut M18 x 1.5 threads guarantee a perfect fit for all modern wideband sensors, ensuring accurate data collection for engine tuning and monitoring.

Choosing this Ticon titanium bung over a stainless steel alternative delivers significant advantages in weight reduction and material longevity in severe conditions. It is an essential universal component for professional fabricators and tuners who demand the highest quality materials for their custom turbo downpipes, headers, and exhaust systems where sensor placement and material integrity are paramount.
