Tapered

Tapered threaded plugs are metal closure components used to close compatible bore holes with cylindrical tapered internal threads. Common in machining, metalworking, maintenance, and assembly work, these plugs provide a threaded closure option for equipment and assemblies where the thread size and tapered-thread format match the opening.

Use Cases

Close compatible threaded bore holes

These plugs are intended for closing bore holes with compatible cylindrical tapered internal threads in maintenance, machining, metalworking, assembly, equipment, and related applications.

How to Choose

Start with the exact thread designation

Match the plug’s tapered thread to the compatible internal thread, such as M8 x 1.0, M16 x 1.5, M20 x 1.5, or R 3/4. Then compare material and whether a GPC thread coating is specified.

Applications

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Plan the Thread Match

Verify compatibility before selecting a plug

A proper selection begins with the bore hole’s compatible cylindrical tapered internal thread. Match both the thread designation and the tapered-thread requirement rather than choosing only by general plug size.

  • Metric options represented include M8 x 1.0, M10 x 1.0, M14 x 1.5, M16 x 1.5, M18 x 1.5, M20 x 1.5, M22 x 1.5, M24 x 1.5, M30 x 1.5, and M36 x 1.5.
  • An R 3/4 tapered-thread option is also represented.
  • Confirm that the bore hole is compatible with the specific plug thread before purchase.
Compare Materials and Coatings

Choose the construction and thread features that fit the application

Steel and stainless steel threaded plugs are represented. Certain steel and stainless steel options include a GPC thread coating, described as providing an increased or higher degree of safety in the threaded connection.

  • Choose between steel and stainless steel construction based on the option required for the compatible closure application.
  • Select a GPC-coated thread when that specified coated-thread design is needed.
  • Some products are identified with a DIN 906 plug design.
Order for the Work at Hand

Buy the quantity needed for replacement or maintenance

The listed plug options support ordering from one unit, which can be useful when replacing a single threaded closure component or addressing an individual maintenance need.

  • Minimum order quantity is one each for the represented products.
  • Review the complete thread designation, construction, coating, and plug-design details for the item being considered.
  • Use the plug only with a compatible tapered internal-thread bore hole.
