Specification

DIN 906 tapered hexagon socket screw plugs with a hexagon socket drive at one end and a slightly tapered pipe thread along the full length of the plug. The threaded section of the plug is slightly conical and when tightened to the appropriate torque, the deformation of the threads creates the seal.

Designed to create a tighter seal for masking threaded holes and is commonly used to seal holes in machinery, fittings or pipes to prevent leakage of air, steam, gases, water, oil and fluids. This plug is also great for blocking off intake manifold water ports, water pump ports, water temp and oil sender holes, engine block holes, etc.

Material

Made of highly durable A2 stainless steel that possesses superior anti-corrosive properties suitable for use in wet environments, these plugs can be extensively used for commercial, industrial, automotives, boats, sanitary pipes and fittings.

For any application involving marine (salt water), use A4 / 316 Stainless Steel material.
