Ultrabake™ Flangeless Plugs

Ultrabake™ Flangeless Plugs

Purpose

Ultrabake™ Flangeless Plugs are designed to plug threaded holes; they will mask off the hole and can cover a portion of the top thread of the hole to allow painting or coating up to the threads.

How the product is used

The plug is applied by pushing the tapered ribbed end of the plug into the threaded hole. It can be “screwed” in, but the profile of the plug is not a thread. The plug can be used on plain bores, but on those, we would recommend the UP series of plugs or a pull plug such as the SPP series of pull plugs.

The plug is removed by pulling on the handle.

These products can be used in similar applications.

Ultrabake™ Plugs with Handles (UP-H) can be used in the same manner but may not protect the top thread of a threaded hole as well as a flangeless plug.

Ultrabake™ Thread Mask (UTM) or an Ultrabake™ Flanged Plug (SFP) will mask the hole and the first thread of a threaded hole.

Ultrabake™ Washer Plugs (UW) or an Ultrabake™ Washer Cap (WC) will mask the hole and a large concentric diameter around the hole.
