Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct plug size for my PETG packaging tube?
Select the plug size that matches the outside diameter of your PETG tube. These plugs are designed to grip the internal wall based on the tube’s stated outside diameter, so matching the listed diameter (for example 5.94 mm, 8.2 mm, 11.3 mm, 14.53 mm or 18.85 mm) will ensure a secure push-fit.
Can these hexagonal plugs be reused after removal from the tube?
Yes, the HDPE material is durable enough to allow repeated fitting and removal under normal use. Provided the plug and tube are not damaged or excessively worn, they can typically be reused without loss of performance.
Are these plugs suitable for use with tubes made from materials other than PETG?
They are optimised for PETG packaging tubes, but may also be compatible with tubes made from other plastics if the outside diameter matches the specified size and the wall thickness allows a secure friction fit. Always test fit with a sample tube before full-scale use.
