Forged fitting plugs and caps are essential components in piping systems, designed to close or seal the ends of pipes or fittings. These fittings are made through a forging process, which gives them superior strength and durability, ensuring they can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments. Plugs are typically used to seal threaded pipe ends, while caps are used to cover open ends of pipes, valves, or fittings, often for maintenance purposes.
Plugs
A plug is a type of pipe fitting that is used to seal off the open end of a pipe, typically threaded. The threaded plugs fit into the ends of pipes, valves, or fittings, providing a tight seal to prevent fluid leakage. These are especially useful for isolating parts of a system for maintenance or when a pipe or valve is not required to be in service.
