The PLIDCO® Shear + Plug is the Industry’s Most Reliable
Solution for High Pressure, High Temperature Line Plugging
Shear + Plug Handles the Pressure Where Others Fail
Maintenance and repair of ultra high pressure, high temperature steam pipelines have often required plant shutdowns. The PLIDCO® Shear + Plug has provided a safe and reliable way to isolate the problem while keeping your system running. PLIDCO® has successfully been brought into a number of applications where other methods have failed.
Metal-to-Metal Seal + Sealant Back-up
The PLIDCO®Shear + Plug solves this problem, providing a positive metal-to-metal seal against high-pressure, high-temperature steam (other fluids will be considered on application basis). In addition, a sealant is applied to further strengthen the isolation. Standard units are available in sizes of 1-8 inches and for pressures up to 2220 PSI. The Shear + Plug is impervious to flow rate, making it ideal for boiler feed applications.
