About Durometer Hardness Scales

Push-In Panel Plugs

Push these plugs into place for a finished appearance on both sides of a panel.

Plugs

Tapered Plugs

Often used as laboratory stoppers, these rubber plugs have good impact and abrasion resistance. They’re tapered to fit a range of hole diameters.

Expandable Tapered Plugs

Place a plug into an opening and tighten the wing nut—the sides expand to create a seal in holes of varying diameters.

High-Temperature Tapered Plugs

Good for electroplating, paint baking, and powder-coating applications, these plugs withstand temperatures up to 570° F. All are tapered to fit a range of hole diameters.

Hollow High-Temperature Tapered Plugs

The hollow construction allows these plugs to compress for a snug fit in threaded and unthreaded holes of varying diameters. Good for electroplating, paint baking, and powder-coating applications, they withstand temperatures up to 450° F.

Expandable High-Temperature Tapered Plugs

Place a plug into an opening and tighten the wing nut—the sides expand to create a seal in holes of varying diameters. Good for paint baking and powder-coating applications, these plugs withstand temperatures up to 450° F.

Chemical-Resistant Tapered Plugs

These plugs have excellent chemical resistance for masking parts during chemical finishing applications such as plating and anodizing. Their tapered design fits a range of hole diameters.

Food Industry Tapered Plugs

Made of FDA listed materials, these plugs are suitable for food contact. They're tapered to fit a range of hole diameters.

Sealing Plugs

With a compressible flanged top, these plugs are designed to seal the ends of copper tubing often used in water supply lines, refrigerant lines, and HVAC compressors. All are sized to fit standard copper tube dimensions.

High-Temperature Round Plugs for NPT Pipe

These plugs withstand temperatures up to 600° F to protect internally threaded NPT connections from contaminants during electropainting, paint baking, and powder coating applications.

Chemical-Resistant Pull-Through Round Plugs

These plugs have excellent chemical resistance for masking parts during chemical finishing applications such as plating and anodizing. Use the smaller end of the plug to pull the larger end into a through hole to form a tight seal.

Flanged Pull-Through Round Plugs

Designed with a flange, these plugs protect countersunk holes during anodizing, electroplating, paint baking, and powder-coating applications. All withstand temperatures up to 600° F. Use the smaller end of the plug to pull the larger end into a through hole to form a tight seal.

High-Temperature Pull-Through Round Plugs

Good for electroplating, paint baking, and powder-coating applications, these plugs withstand temperatures up to 600° F. To form a tight seal, use the smaller end of the plug to pull the larger end into a through hole.

Miniature Pull-Through Round Plugs

Also known as mouse tails, these tiny plugs fit through-hole IDs as small as 0.022”, 0.025", or 0.03”.

Pull-Tab Round Plugs

A time-saving alternative to threaded plugs, these plugs press in place and have an ergonomic pull tab for quick and easy removal. Use them to temporarily protect holes in objects from contaminants during storage, painting, and light fabrication.

Caps

Domed Round Caps

The large domed head extends beyond the diameter of your pipe, rod, or tubing for added protection.

Chemical-Resistant Round Caps

These caps have excellent chemical resistance for masking parts during chemical finishing applications such as plating and anodizing.

High-Temperature Round Caps

Good for electroplating, paint baking, and powder-coating applications, these caps withstand temperatures up to 440° F or 570° F.

High-Temperature Tapered Caps

Made of silicone, these caps withstand temperatures of 450° F for electroplating, paint-baking, and powder-coating applications. All of these flexible caps are tapered to fit a variety of unthreaded and threaded objects.

Stretchable Sealing Caps

Tug on the pull tabs to stretch these caps onto the tips of bottles, beakers, flasks, and cylinders, creating an airtight seal.

High-Visibility Pull-Tab Caps

A vibrant yellow color makes these caps stand out. They are made of flexible rubber that conforms for a snug fit. Pull the tab for easy removal.

Capacitor Caps

Also known as capacitor boots, these caps protect capacitors and wire connections from damage to extend their service life. They also insulate wire terminal connections to help reduce accidental shocks.

Bumpers, Grommets, and Trim

Wet-Location Snap-In Sealing Grommets

Snap these grommets into place to hold wire, cable, and cords in wet locations and form a seal against dust, debris, and water.

Split Sealing Grommets

The two‐piece design makes it easy to install and seal these grommets around wire, cable, and cords that are already in place. Use them to keep out dust, debris, and moisture.

Create-Your-Own Split Sealing Grommets

Cut the center of these grommets with a utility knife to create custom IDs. The two‐piece design makes it easy to install and seal these grommets around wire, cable, and cords that are already in place. Use them to keep out dust, debris, and moisture.

Sealing Grommets

Create a tight seal around wire, cable, and cords with these grommets to keep out dust, debris, and moisture.

Sanitary Sealing Grommets

Create a sanitary seal on through-wall piping, tubing, and cables in food-, cosmetic-, and pharmaceutical-processing areas.

Liquid-Tight Sealing Grommets

Rated IP68, these grommets form liquid-tight seals around wire, cable, and cords to protect them against dust as well as submersion in a maximum of one meter of water.

Grommets

Push these flexible grommets into place to protect wire, cable, and cords by turning rough-edged and uneven holes into smooth, insulated holes. Commonly used in metal panels, they also damp vibration.

Cut-to-Size Grommets

Cut the thin layer of rubber in the center of these grommets to create custom IDs to securely hold and protect wire, cable, and cords. Push these grommets into place. They turn rough-edged and uneven holes into smooth, insulated holes. Commonly used in metal panels, they also damp vibration. Also known as webbed grommets.

High-Temperature Grommets

These flexible grommets withstand temperatures of 450° F or greater, which is approximately twice as high as our standard grommets. Push them into place to protect wire, cable, and cords by turning rough-edged and uneven holes into smooth, insulated holes. Commonly used in metal panels, they also damp vibration.

Grommet Assortments

Keep grommets of various sizes on hand to solve whatever problems arise.

Flexible Furniture Grommets

Squeeze these flexible grommets to open the center flap—once wire, cable, and cords pass through, the flap closes tightly for dust and debris protection as well as a finished look. Use them to eliminate cord clutter on desktops, countertops, benchtops, and other work surfaces.

Push-In Bumpers

Push the stem into a hole for quick installation. These bumpers are commonly used as feet on instruments and bench-top equipment to keep them from sliding. They're also good as spacers between sheets of material. Also known as stem and grommet bumpers.

Tight-Grip Push-In Bumpers

A ridge on the stem provides a tighter grip than other push-in bumpers. Push the stem into a hole for quick installation. These bumpers are commonly used as feet on instruments and bench-top equipment to keep them from sliding. They're also good as spacers between sheets of material. Also known as stem and grommet bumpers.

Compressible-Stem Push-In Bumpers

The stem on these bumpers compresses to fit into tight holes. Push the stem into a hole for quick installation. These bumpers are commonly used as feet on instruments and bench-top equipment to keep them from sliding. They're also good as spacers between sheets of material. Also known as stem and grommet bumpers.

Vibration-Damping Grommets, Bushings, and Washers

Ribbed Vibration-Damping Bushings

Ribbed bushings are more flexible than our smooth vibration-damping bushings, so they're easier to install.

Vibration-Damping Washers

Use these in place of normal washers to damp vibration and cushion your joint.
