Silicone Plugs | McMaster-Carr

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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

Create an airtight seal around the tips of bottles and containers.

Sanitary Threaded Hole Plugs

FDA compliant for use near food, these plugs close off unused holes in equipment such as electrical enclosures to keep out debris and water.

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.

Sanitary Sealing Grommets

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

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.

Weld-On Sights

Weld these sights to single-wall tanks.

Ambient-Noise Canceling Earplugs

Reduce exposure to loud background noise from nearby machinery without blocking out voices. Instead of muffling all sound like other earplugs, these soften sound to enable clear communication.
