Taper Allen Socket Plug

Tapered Allen Socket Drain Plug - A2 Stainless DIN 906

Taper plugs seal via metal-to-metal wedging of male and female thread patterns. Headless stainless steel plug style, no sealing washer required.

Consider using a thread sealant on the plug prior to installation to achieve adequate seal and to reduce the possibility of leakage.

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 countersunk hex drive 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.

Commonly used in wet environments. Popular across a wide range of industries: automotive, agriculture, photographic, medical / surgical,  food processing, clean energy, etc.
