MECHANICAL PLUGS
Maintenance without delay

IPCO Plugs IPX1 and IPX4 seal tubes in heat exchangers more safely and efficiently (preventively) than traditional systems. This saves significant time and money. In short: Maintenance without delay!

The IPCO Plug is also subjected to the stringent requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). Every year, compliance is confirmed by DNV, an accredited and independent notified body.

This ensures that the complete technical dossier, as well as the manufacturing and post-inspection processes of the IPCO Plug, meet strict and essential safety standards. This provides added assurance for both the installer and the installation manager/owner.

IPCO Plug X4

The IPCO Plug X4 has a large diameter range which reduces the need for stock and makes selecting and ordering the right size easy. The working pressure is high and is the perfect solution for most applications.

IPCO PLUG X1

IPCO Plug X1

The IPCO Plug X1 can withstand extremely high working pressures and works in heat exchangers under the harshest conditions. If the application places even higher demands on the plug than what is possible as standard, IPCO can carry out additional investigations and tests to meet specifications upon request.

Key Benefits
