Threaded plugs

FLOK supplies threaded plugs for metric and inch threads, of various types and sizes — for sealing pipelines, machine tool building, and system repairs.

Threaded plugs are used to seal unused openings and branches in pipelines and other structures. Leaving such openings unsealed is unsafe. Plugs are also used as technological caps, and for forming ties or supports made of concrete or wood. Certain variants are designed for thread calibration and restoring damaged threads.

They are made of high-strength steel or brass — this provides corrosion resistance and durability in aggressive environments.

There are plugs with internal and external threads. Plugs with internal threads are usually fitted with a hex head for use with a wrench.

There are many variations: conical, with collars, for internal hex keys, with collars for releasing excess air, and others. Visually, plugs are generally similar — made as a cylinder with a thread. The thread can be metric or inch — this is important to consider when selecting a size.

The applications of threaded plugs are broad. Pipelines regularly require repairs, and during this time the supply of the transported substance must be shut off. A threaded plug seals the passage tightly, while being simple to install and remove.

Plugs are used not only in industry but also in everyday life — for example, when repairing heating or water supply systems, without welding or similar techniques.

A separate field of application is machine tool building. Machine tool units (headstocks and tailstocks, beds, gearboxes and transmission boxes, carriages) require lubrication of internal gears for reliable operation. Oil is supplied from above, and used lubricant drains from the bottom. Threaded plugs are screwed onto the necks of lubricant containers.

Plugs are screwed on with a wrench or by hand — this depends on the shape of the cap. For reliable tightening, hex or square plugs are used with the corresponding wrench.

The range of variations is wide: conical plugs with recesses for wrenches, conical plugs with internal threads, plugs with collars made of metals, alloys, or durable engineering plastics, as well as plugs shaped as closure caps.
