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.
Our range features various types and styles of hole plugs including tapered plugs, barrel plugs, rubber stoppers, hole blanking plugs, flexible plugs and threaded sealing plugs to name a few.
Our range is stocked full of plugs manufactured from materials such as:
Rubber hole plugs - including silicone rubber plugs.
Plastic hole plugs - including EPDM stoppers, LDPE, PVC, nylon and many more.
Hole plugs are used in various applications and processes - even those that require high temperatures. Below are just some of the examples of where hole plugs are used:
Thread choice need not be a concern as we stock plugs in the following; BSP, Metric, NPT, SAE, UNC, UNF and UNJS threads. Shape options are large too with domed plugs, flat plugs, and round and rectangular on offer. This is one of our largest ranges of plugs and we allow free samples on every option giving you the confidence you have made the right choice.
Our range is jam-packed full of various sizes including hole sizes to choose from. We also offer tapered plugs, pull plugs, body plugs, and snap fit plugs and masking plugs to suit your applications.
Each plug brings its own unique set of characteristics, so we have put together this handy guide to help you make the right decision when choosing hole plugs - check out Hole Plugs Explained for more information.
