Silicone Tapered Plugs with Handle

Series: STP-H

Handled tapered plugs for faster masking of small holes (600°F)

The added length from the handle compared to our regular STP plugs allows for fingers large and small to quickly grasp the handle and insert/remove these smaller plugs. The handle also allows a quick twist to push plugs in a bit further and with more friction, helping to avoid blowouts in components that are heated and trap air beneath the plugs.

Application Tips

Sizing Guide
When trying to find the best plug for a given hole size, use these general guidelines: Bottom diameter should be 15% smaller than hole diameter; top diameter should be 15% larger than hole diameter.
Insertion Technique
Add a slight twisting motion when inserting to achieve higher friction and better hold, especially in deeper holes.
