Blind Plugs
Blind plugs are solid, non-conductive inserts used to seal unused conduit openings, junction box knockouts, or cable gland entries. They protect against debris, moisture, and contaminants, ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems.
The Importance of Securing Threaded Conduit Openings
Electrical projects often utilise threaded conduits for routing and protecting cables. However, exposed threaded conduit openings can pose safety and aesthetic concerns:
Safety Hazard: Openings can create an avenue for accidental contact with live electrical components, particularly in areas with limited access.
Dust & Moisture Ingress: Openings can allow dust, moisture, and debris to enter the conduit, potentially impacting internal components.
Unprofessional Appearance: Exposed threads can detract from the overall finish of your electrical installation.
