A cost-effective alternative to higher-cost tube plugs for low-pressure isolation and vacuum testing. Soft neoprene conforms to the tube for a tight seal, and one size fits multiple port sizes, so you stock fewer plugs.

Install & Remove

Tap In, Test, Pull Out

  1. Tap the plug in with a small hammer or rubber mallet until it's firmly in place.
  2. Run your test. Rubber stoppers are made for low-pressure isolation and vacuum testing with the VLD-2500.
  3. Pull it out with a firm pull from a pair of pliers, and reuse it on the next tube.
Low Pressure OnlyRubber stoppers are for low-pressure and vacuum work. Puncture leaking tubes before plugging, and never stand in front of an installed plug under pressure.
