Purpose

Ultrabake™ Flanged Plugs are designed to mask plain and threaded holes; they will mask off the hole and the first thread of a threaded hole.

How the product is used

Flanged plugs are applied by being pushed into the hole until the flange rests up against the first thread of the threaded hole or the lead in chamfer of the hole. The plug is best inserted by using a rounded end rod or dowel to push the plug into the hole. The sides of the plug are parallel. The domed end helps to start the plug in the hole.
