SHAW PLUGS Competitive Advantages

Shaw Turn-Tite Rubber Plugs

These rubber plugs have brass T-handles for an excellent grip to hand tighten the expanding plug into a hole. The industrial-grade neoprene rubber body is ribbed for better grip and a high expansion rate (10 - 12 percent). These mechanical expansion plugs are designed to close off pipes, receptacles and open conduits which are subjected to high pressure due to the fluid present in them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of using brass cams?

Brass cams are corrosion and abrasion-resistant. These units are ideal for use with water, hydraulic oils, coolants, gasoline and other petroleum products.

What is the purpose of smooth rubber design?

Smooth rubber design makes it easy to plug or pull in circular holes. It enhances the overall waterproof and corrosion resistance properties.

Is neoprene capable of withstanding heat?

Neoprene seals have a high expansion rate (10 - 12%) that allows superior heat resistance at temperatures up to 275 degrees F.

Are these expandable plugs pressure rated?

No, these expandable plugs are not pressure-rated due to unknown surface / environment / containment problems. However, Shaw plugs are mostly recommended for applications rated 15 PSI or higher.
