Drum Plugs

For installation and removal of these plugs, use drum-plug wrenches.

Plugs with PTFE seals stand up to corrosive chemicals such as nitric acid.

Style D have a M64 thread size, which is also known as Buttress threads.

Drum-plug caps (sold separately) fit over drum plugs to provide dust protection as well as evidence of tampering. They have a breakaway seal and are for one-time use.
