SHOULDER PLUG / HEADER PLUG DESCRIPTION:
Header Plugs, also referred to as Shoulder or UNF Plugs, are threaded plugs specifically designed for use in fin-fan® heat exchangers. Fin-fans*, also recognized as air-cooled heat exchangers, are essential devices utilized to extract heat from process fluids by transferring it to the surrounding air.
For the world's largest industrial facilities, halting a shutdown or turnaround for a small part of a heat exchanger is not feasible. We have the capacity to manufacture over 1,000 header plugs / shoulder plugs daily for your fin-fan, maintaining high quality and adhering to your precise specifications, with shipping available 24/7!
The next time you require plugs for your fin-fan, reach out to USA Industries. Our in-stock plugs and gaskets can be shipped on the same day!
