    Tapered Plugs

    Don't worry about having the exact size you need on hand—these plugs are shaped to fit a range of diameters. Push in until they're snug to mask holes during coating and finishing.
    SBR Rubber—A good multipurpose option. Flexible and durable, these plugs can be used over and over without cracking or breaking down.
    Chemical-Resistant EPDM—These plugs won't degrade from exposure to cleaners, acids, and solvents.
    High-Temperature Silicone Rubber—Withstand multiple passes when paint baking, powder coating, and electroplating.
    Cork—The original plug material, cork is compressible and flexible for a tight fit. These plugs are also slightly porous to allow some gas exchange. They are a sustainable and biodegradable alternative to rubber.
    1 Hole and 2 Holes—Feed tubing through holes to connect bottles to other lab equipment, or insert an instrument such as a thermometer. The holes also allow pressure to escape.
