Two-Piece Tube Plugs
The Two-Piece Tube Plugs offer more sealing compared to One-Piece Plugs. The tapered pin is driven into the ring, which is tapered on the inside and is parallel to the tube on the outside. This gives even expansion to the ring and a long contact to the seal.
It is good practice to install rings and pins that are the same as or a compatible material to the tube to be plugged. The tube plugs are available in an array of materials to suit your needs: brass, carbon steel, 316 stainless steel, 416 stainless steel, and aluminum (other materials are available upon request). We recommend puncturing the leaky tube with a One-Revolution Tube Cutter. This will ensure the tube is properly vented prior to plugging.
Features & Benefits:
- Better method to plug leaky tubes – less labor cost.
- Pins fit several ring sizes – less inventory expense.
- Larger sealing surface – less chance for repeat leaking.
- Does not damage the tube sheet – No tube sheet repair cost.
Specifications:
- Specifications vary upon tube size and plug material. Contact Customer Service for details.
