Plugs

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.

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.

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.

Corks

Lightweight and moisture resistant, these plugs are laboratory-grade 100% natural cork. They’re 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Conductive Round Plugs

With a surface resistivity of less than 10⁵ ohms, these plugs not only dissipate electrical charges, but can be used as an electrical shield.

Round Plugs

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

Antistatic Round Plugs

Keep equipment safe from electrical currents with these plugs that have a surface resistivity of less than 10¹² ohms.

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.

Push-In Square Plugs

Push these plugs into an opening and friction holds them in place.

Metal Square Plugs

More durable than plastic plugs, these provide the most protection from abrasion and impact. Use them to eliminate sharp edges and create a finished look on metal fence and machine-guard posts. Drive them in place with a hammer for a secure fit.

Push-In Rectangular Plugs

Push these plugs into an opening and friction holds them in place.

Push-In Panel Plugs

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

Hydraulic Sealing Plugs

Permanently seal unthreaded holes in pneumatic and hydraulic components.

Expansion Plugs for Castings

Also known as freeze plugs, these are commonly used to permanently seal the shallow holes left in a component during the casting process.
