LOW PRESSURE CONDENSER TUBE PLUGS
The TORQ N’ SEAL® Elastomer Condenser Plug (TNS-ECP) is a new solution for condenser and low-pressure heat exchanger tube plugging. Plugs are installed simply with the included Hex Capture Drive. Just attach to any standard 3/8″ square drive torque wrench and you are ready to install. For heat exchangers and condensers operating at pressure less than 250 psi (17 bar), temperature below 300ºF (150ºC).
Key Features:
250 psi (17 bar) positive sealing in excess of 250 psi.
300ºF (150ºC). Suitable for temperatures up to 300ºF.
Wide Expansion Range. Just 6 plugs cover tube ID’s from 0.580″ to 1.200″ (14.7 – 30.5 mm).
NO Special Tooling or personnel training. Only requires Hex Capture Drive that comes included free with every purchase and a standard 3/8″ square drive torque wrench.
Quick Installation. Torq N’ Seal® plugs can be installed in just seconds
How it works
The plug is attached and retained with a spring clip to the hex driver and then inserted into the tube to the desired position. Plug design allows the plug to be installed at any depth within the tube sheet to avoid damaged areas of tube id. Flush installation also reduces laminar disruption across tube sheet and removes risk of physical disruption.
The hex drive is attached to a regular 3/8” drive ratchet torque wrench and the eccentric anti-spin cam locks the plug into the tube ID as rotation begins causing expansion of the polymer sealing section to begin as further torque is applied.
As preset torque is achieved then plug expansion and tube seal is complete.

Variable Installation Depth. Plug can be inserted flush or to any depth of the tube sheet in order to avoid severely corroded areas at tube sheet face.
Fit Into Tight Areas. Design enables rapid installation and fit into tight areas adjacent to the tube sheet/shell joint interface, baffle plates and internal dividers.
Wide Sealing Area contact zone ensures a positive seal.
