Overview

The ABB Stopping Plug (SKU: EXS/038/SP) is a Type 316 stainless steel sealing solution designed for hazardous industrial environments. Engineered with a 3/8-inch NPT thread, this plug provides a secure, leak-proof termination for cable entries, conduit systems, or unused openings in enclosures. Operating from -20°C to +200°C (-4°F to 392°F), it delivers long-term reliability in harsh conditions. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations where durability is critical. The EXS/038/SP is a cost-effective alternative to permanent sealing methods, allowing for future re-entry or system modifications without compromising safety. Ideal for oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, and manufacturing facilities, this stopping plug eliminates the risk of ignition sources in explosive environments. The Type 316 stainless steel material provides enhanced resistance to chlorides and other corrosive agents, extending service life in aggressive environments. With a temperature range spanning from -20°C to +200°C, the plug maintains performance in extreme thermal conditions, from arctic installations to high-heat processing areas. Its design allows for easy removal and reinstallation, supporting maintenance flexibility in dynamic industrial settings.
