Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stainless steel dust plug used for?
It is used to protect the open ends of hose couplings and piping systems from dust, dirt, moisture, and other contaminants. This helps maintain the cleanliness and integrity of the connection before and during use.
Which hose sizes does this plug fit?
Our stainless steel dust plugs are available in a range of common marine hose sizes from 1/2 inch to 6 inches (15mm to 150mm). Custom sizes and thread types can be made to order for specific applications.
Is the plug resistant to saltwater corrosion?
Yes, it is made from 316L stainless steel, a marine-grade alloy that provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in saltwater environments.
Can this dust plug be used for pressure testing?
No, this product is designed solely as a protective cover, not a pressure-testing plug. It should not be subjected to pressurized fluids.
