Cork Tube Plugs / Stoppers
Inexpensive solution to Sealing off Tubes During Transport & Cleaning
If you're planning on sealing off your Fin-FanĀ®Ā / heat exchanger, boiler or condenser for maintenance, transport or cleaning, you owe it to yourself to explore Cork Tube Plugs. Cork is an inexpensive way to seal off your tubes, preventing unwanted dust, dirt or other chemicals from getting in where you don't want it.
Due to their low cost, easy replaceability and simple installation / removal, industry experts utilize cork plugs to identify tubes during rework. Quick and easy identification of pipes needing replacement can help streamline your shutdown / turnaround activity, replacing more time-consuming methods like tagging, labeling or diagraming which tubes are in need of replacement / repair.

It depends on how you utilize your cork plugs. If you are utilizing them for transport or identifying tubes during re-work, the plugs should be okay to reuse, as long as you keep them clean / dry. Cork is porous and will be contaminated by any liquid it comes into contact with, possibly rendering it unusable for certain applications moving forward.
Simply tap the cork plug into place with a small hammer or rubber mallet until firmly in place.
Cork tube plugs are easily removed with a firm pull on the plug from a pair of pliers.
