Blank Duct Plugs

Product Detail

One of the biggest advantages of blank duct plugs is their versatility. They can create a water-tight seal in smooth, ribbed, and corrugated ducts, thanks to their solid elastomeric gasket that ensures a reliable and durable seal. Many models also include a ring for rope ties, which is handy for securing pull ropes and managing unused cables, making them especially popular among contractors working on data centers and underground electrical projects.

How to Install a Blank Duct Plug

Gather the Necessary Tools

Start by collecting the basic tools and materials you'll need: a blank duct plug of the appropriate size, a tape measure, a marker, and a pair of gloves. If the opening is at an elevated location, a ladder or step stool may also be helpful.

Measure the Pipe Opening

Using a tape measure, accurately determine the size of the conduit or pipe opening. This ensures that you choose the correct size blank plug for a snug fit.

Choose the Right Size Plug

Blank duct plugs come in various sizes, so it's essential to select one that matches your measured opening. The right fit ensures a secure seal and prevents gaps.

Wear Gloves and Install the Plug

Put on gloves to protect your hands and carefully insert the plug into the conduit opening. Press firmly to ensure it fits securely. To help locate the plug later, you can trace its outline on the pipe with a marker.

Check for Air Leaks

Once the plug is installed, inspect the edges for any gaps or air leaks. If you find any, use tape or sealant to cover them and maintain an airtight seal.

By following these steps, you can ensure your blank duct plug is installed properly, protecting your conduits from water, sediment, and even nesting animals. This simple yet essential accessory ensures a safer and cleaner environment, improving the overall efficiency and longevity of your infrastructure.
