PVC Hole Plug HP10 | Blank Plug 5mm – 70mm

A PVC hole plug is a type of fitting used to seal or close off openings in PVC piping systems. They are typically made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which is a durable, corrosion-resistant plastic suitable for plumbing, irrigation, or other piping applications.

Types of PVC Hole Plugs

• Push-In Plugs: Snap into place without tools, ideal for quick installation in round, square, or rectangular holes.
• Screw Hole Plugs: Designed to cover screw holes, often color-matched for a seamless look, used in vinyl windows or fencing.
• Threaded Plugs: Seal threaded holes in PVC pipes, suitable for plumbing applications.
• Tapered Plugs: Fit multiple hole sizes due to their tapered design, often used for masking or protection during manufacturing.
• Flush or Recessed Plugs: Provide a smooth, finished surface, used in appliances, cabinets, or automotive parts.

Materials

While primarily made from PVC for durability, UV resistance, and water resistance, some plugs are also available in:

• Polypropylene: Lightweight and reusable, used for general-purpose hole covering.
• LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): Flexible, protects against damage during transport.
• Vinyl: Flexible and easy to install, often used as a cost-effective alternative to rubber.
• Rubber or TPR/TPE: Provides a tight seal, used for high-temperature or chemical-resistant applications.

Applications

• Plumbing: Seal unused holes in PVC pipes to prevent leaks or air ingress.
• Vinyl Fencing: Cover screw or access holes for a polished look.
• Furniture: Conceal shelf-adjustment holes in cabinets or closets.
• Industrial: Protect pipes, valves, or fittings during manufacturing, shipping, or storage.
• Automotive: Seal panel holes to prevent dust or moisture ingress.

Installation

• Push-In: Simply press into the hole for a secure fit.
• Screw Hole Plugs: Hand-installed, no tools required.
• Threaded Plugs: Screwed into threaded holes for a tight seal.
• For temporary fixes, hot glue or caulk can seal small holes in PVC pipes, though permanent solutions like couplings are recommended.

Considerations

• Hole Size: Ensure the plug matches the hole’s diameter (e.g., 5/8″ plug for 5/8″ hole).
• Environment: Choose UV-resistant or weatherproof plugs for outdoor use.
• Material Compatibility: PVC plugs are ideal for PVC surfaces, but vinyl or rubber may work better for specific conditions.
• Permanent vs. Temporary: For plumbing, permanent solutions like glued couplings are more reliable than temporary patches.
