Tapered Plugs.

What are Tapered Plugs?

Tapered plugs, an integral component within the precision engineering ecosystem, are uniquely crafted to fit snugly into smooth or threaded holes, ensuring a tight seal.

Their distinctive tapered design allows them to cater to a range of diameters, making them an indispensable asset in tasks requiring effective sealing or protection against contaminants. Whether you're safeguarding vital components or preventing paint ingress during finishing processes, tapered plugs and stoppers are your go-to solution.

How A Tapered Plug Works

The genius of a tapered plug lies in its elegant design. When inserted into a hole, its conical shape ensures a tight and secure fit, adapting to the contours of the aperture. This provides an effective barrier against dust, debris, or even liquids.

Accus Range of standard, large flange, and pull tab types cater to various application needs, be it ease of insertion, removal, or providing a broader sealing area. Thus, with their strategic design, tapered plastic plugs provide a seamless sealing experience.
