1. A fluid routing plug, comprising:
a body having opposed first and second surfaces, in which the first and second surfaces are joined by an outer intermediate surface; and in which the body has a central longitudinal axis that extends through the first and second surfaces;
a plurality of first fluid passages formed in the body, each of the first fluid passages interconnecting the outer intermediate surface and an axially-blind bore formed in the first surface of the body; and
a plurality of second fluid passages formed in the body, each of the second fluid passages interconnecting the first and second surfaces of the body;
in which the outer intermediate surface of the body comprises:
a first sealing surface positioned adjacent the first surface and surrounding the central longitudinal axis, the first sealing surface having a width of uniform diameter and configured to engage a seal; and
a second sealing surface positioned adjacent the second surface and surrounding the central longitudinal axis, the second sealing surface having a width of uniform diameter and configured to engage a seal;
in which the uniform diameter of the second sealing surface is greater than the uniform diameter of the first sealing surface.
