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.

Corks

Lightweight and moisture resistant, these plugs are laboratory-grade 100% natural cork. They’re tapered to fit a range of hole diameters.

Hollow Tapered Plugs

The hollow construction allows these plugs to compress for a snug fit in threaded and unthreaded holes of varying diameters.

Hollow Tapered Plug Assortments

Keep hollow tapered plugs of various sizes on hand to solve whatever problems arise. The hollow construction allows these plugs to compress for a snug fit in threaded and unthreaded holes of varying 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.

Miniature Tapered Plugs

Sized to fit small openings, these tiny plugs fit snugly but can be removed easily using the flange. Their tapered design fits a range of hole diameters.

Tamper-Evident Tapered Plugs

Often used on gas cylinders, these plugs cinch and lock tightly around valve heads to block the ports—they must be cut off making it clear if the cylinder has been tampered with. The plugs are tapered to fit a range of hole diameters.

Pull-Ring Tapered Plugs

Pull the two built-in rings to quickly remove these plugs. All are tapered to fit a range of hole 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.

Miniature High-Temperature Tapered Plugs

Sized to fit small openings, these tiny plugs fit snugly but can be removed easily using the flange. They withstand temperatures up to 470° F, which makes them good for electroplating, paint baking, and powder-coating applications. All are tapered to fit a range of hole diameters.

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.

Threaded Round Plugs

Threaded Round Plugs for 37° Flared Tube

Designed to fit into 37° flared connections such as those found on JIC and SAE fittings, these plugs protect internally threaded connections from contaminants during fabrication and storage.

Threaded Round Plugs for BSPT Pipe

Safeguard internally threaded BSPT connections from contaminants during fabrication and storage.

Threaded Round Plugs for Straight-Thread Pipe

Seal tube and hose fittings to keep their straight threads protected from contaminants during fabrication and storage.

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.

Threaded Round Plugs for NPT Pipe

Protect internally threaded NPT connections from contaminants during fabrication and storage.

Tapered Caps

Tapered Cap Assortments

Keep tapered caps of various sizes on hand to solve whatever problems arise. These flexible plastic caps are tapered to fit a variety of unthreaded and threaded objects.
