SHOULDER PLUG / HEADER PLUG DESCRIPTION:
Header Plugs, also referred to as Shoulder or UNF Plugs, are threaded plugs specifically designed for use in fin-fanĀ® 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!
Order plugs and gaskets together and save!

A SPECIAL WORD OF CAUTION:
USA Industries highly recommends you use ourĀ One Rev Internal Tube CutterĀ to puncture the tube before installing any plug to ensure that pressure cannot build up in the tube and cause the plugs to loosen or blow out.
