If the tubes are not rolled into the tubesheet, contact USA Industries at 1-888-299-2155 for guidance before proceeding further. Before installation, eliminate any scale and pitting using USA Industries’ Snap It Brushes. Additionally, ensure that any weld droop is removed prior to plug installation.
