Caplugs CPT-14Y Plastic Center Pull-Tab Plug Red LD-PE 30 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Caplugs CPT-14Y is a precision‑engineered center pull‑tab plug crafted from high‑quality red low‑density polyethylene (LD‑PE). Its tapered design creates a snug seal that guards against liquid ingress, vapor escape, and particulate contamination. The plug features a 1.44 inch outer flange diameter (OD) and a 1.286 inch inner plug ID, dimensions that align with industry‑standard lab stoppers, ensuring a reliable fit on a wide range of glassware, reactors, and test vessels. The material choice—LD‑PE—offers excellent chemical resistance, flexibility, and durability, making the plug suitable for harsh laboratory environments where exposure to solvents, acids, and bases is routine. Each package contains 30 individual plugs, providing ample inventory for routine maintenance, batch processing, and emergency replacements.

Usage

Designed for laboratory and industrial applications, the CPT‑14Y excels in scenarios that demand reliable hole protection. Whether you are masking a section of a glass vessel for selective coating, painting a component that requires a temporary seal, or performing powder coating on intricate parts, the pull‑tab mechanism allows quick insertion and removal without compromising the integrity of the seal. The plug’s red coloration enhances visibility, reducing the risk of misplacement during busy workflows. It is equally effective in manufacturing settings where equipment downtime must be minimized; technicians can swiftly replace a worn plug, restoring process continuity. The plug’s compatibility with standard flange sizes means it can be used on beakers, flasks, reactors, and custom‑machined apparatuses across chemical, pharmaceutical, and materials science laboratories.

FAQ

What materials are compatible with the CPT‑14Y plug?

The plug is made from LD‑PE, which is resistant to most solvents, acids, bases, and oils commonly used in laboratory settings. It is suitable for use with glass, stainless steel, and most polymeric equipment.

Can the plug be reused after cleaning?

Yes. The plug can be cleaned with mild detergent and rinsed with deionized water. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the surface. After cleaning, inspect the plug for any signs of wear before reuse.

How does the pull‑tab mechanism work?

The pull‑tab is integrated into the plug’s body, allowing you to grasp and lift the plug straight out of the hole without the need for tools. This design reduces the risk of damaging the surrounding equipment and speeds up the change‑over process.

Is the red color purely aesthetic?

The bright red color improves visual identification, especially in busy lab environments where multiple plugs of different sizes may be stored together. It also helps prevent accidental mixing with other components.

What is the recommended storage condition?

Store the plugs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original packaging helps maintain their shape and prevents contamination.
