M8 Thread Masks

The M8 Thread Masks plug offers a simple method of masking for threaded and unthreaded holes, whilst also protecting the initial turn of threads from contamination by coatings.

TheM8 Thread Masks plug is ideal for masking weld nuts and shallow blind holes.

Re-useable Bakewell silicone rubber high temperature thread masks suitable up to 315°C.

The M8 Thread Masks plug offers a simple method of masking for threaded and unthreaded holes, whilst also protecting the initial turn of threads from contamination by coatings. This is achieved, by the positioning of a raised lip where the end of the masking portion butts up against the part to be masked. To assist its insertion into the hole requiring masking, the push-in plug has a chamfered end and, except for the smallest size, has a blind hole which also allows the plug to deform slightly when being inserted.

The M8 Thread Masks can be used to mask holes in many finishing operations. Its Bakewell silicone rubber construction makes it particularly suited to electro-static powder coating, anodising, plating, Cerakote® and E-Coat applications, where its high temperature tolerance allows it to be left in place during stoving operations. BAKEWELL silicone rubber parts will soften and swell if exposed to some cleaning fluids, and as such, are best installed after any cleaning operations. Removal is undertaken while the part is still warm, with a twisting motion. Like other BAKEWELL parts, coating build up can be removed in a rumbler, or by rubbing by finger and thumb, leaving them ready for re-use.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion]
