Note that coatings buildup, thread class or chamfer depth can affect the fit of plugs. Viadon is happy to send FREE SAMPLES of plugs for testing. Contact us for more info.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Frequently Asked Questions\u003C/h2>\n\u003Ch3>How do I mask the first thread / chamfer?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>There are several plugs available to do this. For blind holes, Viadon’s VTMP series has a small flange that will mask the lead-in thread along with internal blind hole threads. For through holes, Viadon’s SFPP series are pull plugs with a flange at the end; pull that plug through the hole until the flange seats on the first thread for perfect masking every time.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>How do I choose between a tapered plug and a pull plug?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>Tapered plugs are usually the first choice for masking blind holes because they are low cost and easy to use. But for holes that go through a part, where you can see daylight on the other side, a pull plug is often faster and easier, assuming the thickness of the part is 1\" or less, as most pull plugs are only 1\" long. For thicker parts, two tapered plugs, one inserted on each side, may be a viable option for masking through holes in those cases. And for very shallow blind holes? Sometimes taking a pull plug and inserting it “plug first” so the tail is sticking up is a great way to keep a plug from falling out when a tapered plug does not have the right narrow diameter.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Can these plugs withstand powder coating / ecoating oven temperatures?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>Yes, silicone plugs will withstand up to 500°F and are reusable.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Can these plugs withstand acid baths in plating?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>Silicone plugs are often used in nickel or chrome plating, and they will withstand sulfuric acid used in anodizing as well.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>What if I need a masking plug for a thread size not listed here?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>Viadon not only has access to plugs we do not normally stock, but even if there is not an existing plug option, custom plugs can be made in either small or large quantities from single cavity or production cavity tooling. This can lower your overall costs by allowing for faster, more effective masking. Contact us for details.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Don’t see the thread you need a plug for listed below?
