SI – Silicone Rubber Bakewell Screw-In Plug | Washer Plug

The washer plug is a simple double ended design that incorporates 2 sizes of plug and a central washer. The washer plug can be used for masking areas around holes. Typically this is earthing points, pivot points and where washers may sit in assembly.

Normally made from silicone rubber which withstands 315°C, the washer plug is ideal for powder coating, plating and other metal finishing processes. At the reverse end of the scale, as they are also happy in extremes of cold, they also find applications in laboratories.

Many of the range have been designed so one end will screw into a threaded hole, whilst the opposite end will fit into plain hole the same millimetre size as the threaded ‘M’ hole. Many options are available to suit most popular hole sizes and areas needed masking. Custom versions are also available when something in the standard range doesn’t suit.

The more popular sizes of washer plug are colour coded for ease of identification and re-ordering.

Like all BAKEWELL silicone products, these parts will not deteriorate in extreme cold or temperatures up to 315C, making them ideal for use in electro-static powder coating applications, where high temperature stoving is necessary.
