Purpose

Pull Plugs are designed to plug plain and threaded holes; they will mask off the hole and allow finishing up to it.

How the product is used

The hole must be a through hole.

The narrow end of the plug is placed into the hole, and then the operator uses the narrower end to pull the larger end through the hole. As the plug is pulled the larger diameter stretches and becomes smaller, allowing the plug to fit through the hole. Once the large end is in position and the plug is released, it forms a tight seal on the hole.

The plug is removed by pulling on the smaller diameter.
