Couplings & Plugs Table
| Type | Application |
|---|---|
| Full Coupling | Used for connecting two pipes of the same diameter |
| Half Coupling | Used for connecting a pipe to another component |
| Reducing Coupling | Used to connect pipes of different diameters |
| Compression Coupling | Provides a leak-proof connection without welding |
| Flexible Coupling | Used to accommodate slight misalignments in pipes |
| Hex Plug | Commonly used to seal pipe openings with a hexagonal head for easy tightening |
| Square Plug | Used to seal pipe ends, featuring a square head for better grip |
| Round Plug | Ideal for sealing cylindrical pipe openings |
| Flush Plug | Provides a smooth, flush seal with the pipe surface |
| Magnetic Plug | Used in fluid systems to trap metallic debris |
