POP-A-PLUG® High Pressure Tube Plugs
Pop A Plug P2 High Pressure Tube Plugsfrom Curtiss Wright EST Group provide a permanent mechanical sealing solution for leaking heat exchanger tubes. The P2 Plugs work without explosives or hot work, eliminating the potential for circumferential cracking and other heat related issues associated with welding.
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!
