USA Industries' threaded metal tapered plugs offer a quick, cost-effective, engineered solution to leak repairs in your boilers, tanks and pipe lines.

Now you can drill a uniform hole where the leak is originating, and tighten USA Industries' threaded tapered plug into the leaking hole using a simple hex or socket wrench. Take advantage of this self-tapping plug today and reduce downtime, save money and hassle.
