What is a hole plug?

A hole plug is a device that is used to seal or to fill holes in order to prevent ingress and any liquids or gases from escaping or to keep out dirt and moisture, and to also protect internal threads. They are a durable yet cost-effective component used across many industries. Easy removal and their corrosion-resistant properties are just some of the benefits of choosing to use hole plugs in your applications.
