Tube Plugs
Enhanced sealing via tapered pin design for even expansion and long contact seal.
Elliott's Two-Piece Tube Plugs offer more sealing due to the tapered pin design. This gives even expansion to the ring and creates a long contact seal to the tube ID — providing superior sealing versus one-piece designs.
- Tube Size: 0.375" – 1.250" (9.5 – 31.8mm) OD
- Maximum Pressure: 150 PSI
- Materials: Brass, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, and more
“We specify two-piece plugs on all our high-cycling heat exchanger applications.”

Why Elliott Two-Piece Tube Plugs
Tapered Pin Design
Tapered drive pin creates even radial expansion of the ring for a long, consistent contact seal.
Superior Seal Retention
Long contact length resists plug migration under pressure cycling and thermal expansion.
Easy Installation
Drive the tapered pin to expand the ring — no hydraulic equipment needed.
Benefits
Better Seal Than One-Piece
Tapered pin expansion creates a longer, more uniform seal contact than solid plugs.
