Caps and Plugs

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-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 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.

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.

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.

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.
