Low-profile plug Short Betaplug®

cylindricalconicalnon-threaded

The Short Betaplug was developed to optimize process and product settings and allows for the shortest installed height. Install the Short Betaplug in systems up to 500 psi, and choose plugs that range from 5 mm to 20 mm in diameter. The 11mm Short Betaplug® Expansion Plug is a pre-assembled, one-piece, tapered expansion plug specifically engineered to seal fluid passages in metal castings and plastic housings leak-tight, without the use of threads or sealants. Controlled expansion during installation causes the lands and grooves on the O.D. of the plug body to bite into the wall of the fluid passage, creating a leak-tight seal and assuring retention. The unique tapered design eliminates the need for tight manufacturing tolerances, and allows the designer to minimize the wall thickness required around the plug, even for brittle housing materials.
