General Product Information:
Adjustable plastic pipe plugs are a simple, yet effective accessory for optimizing
forming and purging & damping processes. They can also be used in complex pipe
constructions with pipe bends and T-connectors flexibly and cost-effectively.
cost-efficiently. Thanks to the sealing principle of the pipe plugs, they can also
be used in pipes which are not perfectly round pipes is also possible.
- Available as standard for pipe diameters up to approx. 160 mm
- Special sizes up to Ø approx. 930 mm made of aluminum available on request
Product features:
- high quality construction polymer
- robust construction
- easy handling and versatile application possibilities
- corrosion-free
- models with hollow thread for connection to gas inlet or outlet
pipe plugs made of aluminum are more heat resistant than plastic pipe plugs and are
also more resistant to many chemicals, especially in combination with the special
rubber plugs special rubber seals available on request:
- Silicone rubber (VMQ), heat-resistant up to 300 °C
- Nitrile rubber (NBR), oil and solvent resistant
- Fluororubber (FPM), resistant to ozone and chemicals
Due to the optimal sealing behavior and the material properties of SCAPP pipe plugs
they can also be used for critical welding applications that require the highest
requirements for an oxidation-free weld. The sealing is achieved by a rubber sleeve,
which is squeezed onto a threaded shaft between two washers by means of a wing nut.
between two washers by means of a wing nut. An O-ring seal inserted in the sealing cap
O-ring seal ensures optimum tightness.
Areas of application:
Plastic pipe plugs are manufactured in two variants: with a solid shaft for sealing
and with a hollow thread. sealing and with a hollow threaded shaft for connecting a
forming gas hose.
A wide range of possible applications is conceivable: gas-tight forming systems can be
gas-tight forming systems can be set up, and leakage points on pipes can be sealed
quickly and easily:
• Forming gas plugs in welding applications
• Leak tests in the low-pressure range or sealing to protect against foreign bodies, etc:
• House construction: waste water, wells, downpipes, heating, pools, sanitary facilities
• Industry: pipelines, heat exchangers, swimming pools
• Shipbuilding: cavity sealing, scupper blocker
Safety instructions:
maximum pressure: 1.0 bar
The indicated pressure is approximate and depends on clamping pressure (number of number
of turns of the wing nut), inner diameter and material of the pipe as well as its surface
condition. surface condition. The pressure tests were carried out at 18 °C. An increased
working temperature leads to a reduction in the specified pressure ranges.
