POP-A-PLUG® High Pressure Tube Plugs

Description

Engineered High Pressure Tube Plugs Advantages

Pop A Plug’s simple hydraulic installation takes only minutes, so it will significantly reducing turnarounds/downtime. The Tube Plugs feature internally and externally serrated sealing rings resulting in a helium leak-tight seal under extreme thermal and pressure cycling. The P2 Plugs provide a long-term solution that allows you to plug leaking tubes confidently! Pop-A-Plug P2 High Pressure Tube Plugs provide a permanent mechanical sealing solution for leaking heat exchanger tubes without explosives or hot work, eliminating the potential for circumferential cracking and other heat related issues associated with welding. Simple hydraulic installation takes only minutes, significantly reducing turnarounds/downtime.

For Medium Pressure plugs up to 1,000 PSIg, please see our POP-A-PLUG® CPI/Perma Medium Pressure Tube Plugs. These medium Pressure plugs  have a wider operating range. The Pop A Plug engineered tube plugs are manufactured by Curtiss Wright EST Group. The Pop-A-Plug tube plugs require Installation Ram Package We offer Pop-A-Plug  Installation Ram Package  tool for rent. Simpler installation is possible using Torq N’ Seal® Heat Exchanger Tube Plugs that require no specialized installation tool. A readily available torque wrech installs the Torq N Seal Plugs in little time.
