Pipe Fittings
Plugs are essential pipe fittings designed to insert into the end of fractional tubes or pipes to dead-end the flow. Typically made from materials like copper, steel, or PVC, they provide a secure seal to prevent leaks and contamination.
Plugs are critical for sealing tube or pipe ends in plumbing, industrial, and HVAC systems, ensuring system integrity. Available in various materials, they are engineered to withstand pressure, temperature, and corrosion challenges in diverse applications.
Plugs are vital components in piping systems, used to permanently or temporarily close off tube or pipe ends. Manufactured to match the material of the connected tubing, such as copper, steel, or PVC, they are available in threaded, press-fit, or welded forms, offering reliable sealing solutions for a wide range of industrial and domestic applications.
Plugs are categorized based on their design, material, and connection type to meet specific application requirements.
Type | Description | Application |
---|---|---|
Threaded Plug | Features external threads for secure insertion into pipe or tube ends. | Plumbing, gas lines, and industrial systems. |
Press-Fit Plug | Designed for quick, tool-free insertion into tube ends. | HVAC and water supply systems. |
Steel Plug | High-strength and durable, suitable for high-pressure applications. | Oil and gas, chemical processing. |
PVC Plug | Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, used in non-pressurized systems. | Drainage and irrigation systems. |
Plugs are widely used across industries for their ability to seal and terminate flow in piping systems:
