SMALL RUBBER PLUGS

2021-04-11 · Stoppers & Plugs

Small rubber plugs close or protect openings in components and containers. Designs include tapered plugs and plugs with a head or retention feature. The correct shape depends on the opening and the required fit.

Match the plug to the opening

Measure the opening diameter and depth, and describe the surrounding wall or neck geometry. For tapered plugs, compare both end diameters and the overall height. For headed or undercut designs, include clearance and retention requirements. Check the actual fit with a sample when needed.

Specify the material requirements

Rubber plugs may use different elastomers. A product described as a rubber cork is not necessarily made from cork. Chemical compatibility and suitability for food, laboratory or other controlled uses depend on the specific compound and required documentation; they cannot be inferred from the word rubber.

Prepare a quote request

Send a drawing or opening dimensions, the intended use, material requirements and quantity. State whether the plug is for a simple cover or a sealing application. Browse the stoppers and plugs range to compare available shapes before requesting a standard or custom part.

Stopper & Plug Size Catalog

Compare four stopper profiles and check the selected part dimensions against your opening and available depth. Each profile has its own drawing and dimension meanings.

Custom colors are available to your Pantone color code. Include the code in your inquiry.

RST T-Shaped Plugs

Match stem diameter A, flange diameter B, stem length C and flange thickness D. E refers to the underside recess; use the selected row and approved drawing to confirm the actual profile.

T-shaped stopper — original A, B, C, D and E dimensions — A recessed RST variant is illustrated. The head remains closed. Check E and the approved section for the selected part.

Product specifications

Product form: Removable closure fitted inside an opening
Application focus: Laboratory vessels. Size the part against the selected assembly.
Dimensions to confirm: Opening diameter, closure profile, insertion depth and exposed grip. Match these to laboratory vessels.
Profiles discussed: Tapered sections. Select the profile that matches the mating part and dimension that section explicitly.
Contact conditions: Food ingredients: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
Seating check: Check the sealing contact around the opening and the force needed for insertion and removal.
