Threaded Metal Tapered Tube Plugs
A Fast and Simple Way to Stop Leaks in Tanks and Pipes
USA Industries' Threaded Metal Tapered Tube Plugs offer a quick, cost-effective, engineered solution to leak repairs in your boilers, tanks and pipe lines. In the past, you would have to shut down the unit, patch and weld over a leak, or try and seal it by some other time-consuming, costly means. Now you can drill a uniform hole where the leak is originating, and tighten USA Industries' threaded tapered plug into the leaking hole using a simple hex or socket wrench. Take advantage of this self-tapping plug today and reduce downtime, save money and hassle.
Don't let a tiny leak cost you thousands of dollars in downtime. Threaded tapered plugs allow you to save time & money by temporarily fixing leaks in your tanks and pipes until your next turnaround when you can properly service your unit.

WITH SELF-THREADING METAL THREADED TAPERED PLUGS, A TEMPORARY TANK OR PIPE LEAK FIX CAN BE AS EASY AS:
- Drilling a uniform hole where the leak is.
- Tightening the plug in the hole with a hex or socket wrench. - Welding plug in place is also an option at the operators discretion.
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.
