Pop-A-Plug® Installation

Pop-A-Plug Heat Exchanger Tube Plugs Install Quickly and Easily - Unique Breakaway Prevents Damage to Tube and Tube Joint Installation is simple: prepare the tube using the brush and size the tube with the Go/No-Go gauge supplied; install the correct size plug with the hydraulic ram. The ram pulls the tapered pin through the ring, expanding it into the tube. When the proper installation pressure is reached, the breakaway pops like a pop rivet. This controlled installation force protects surrounding tubes and adjacent ligaments. The Pop-A-Plug Tube Plugging System reduces downtime, eliminates welding and explosives, and will not damage your tubes, tubejoints or tubesheet. Fast, safe and simple.

Pop-A-Plug® CPI/Perma Animation

Resistant to thermal cycling and able to provide a seal that’s helium-leak tight, the Pop-A-Plug® CPI/Perma Tube Plug is the safe, effective, and reliable solution for heat exchanger tube leaks. Rated to 1000 PsiG (68.9 BarG), the Pop-A-Plug® CPI/Perma Tube Plugging System takes seconds to install and its broad expansion range fits multiple gauges. Fewer plugs are required, reducing inventory and costs. Controlled and repeatable installation minimizes installer fatigue and protects against damage to tubesheet ligaments and adjacent tubesheet joints, extending the life of heat exchangers and reducing costs for retubing. Kits include ten (10) plugs and one (1) Go/No-Go Gage.

Pop-A-Plug® Air Cooled Heat Exchanger Tube Preparation – Plug Sizing – Go-No Go Gage

Fast and Simple Air Cooled Heat Exchanger Tube Preparation The extended Go-No Go Gage quickly verifies that the tube inner diameter is within the size range of the Pop-A-Plug® selected. Threaded Go-No Go Gages are included with every ACHE Pop-A-Plug® Kit.

Pop-A-Plug® ACHE Tube Preparation – Brushing Animation

Pop-A-Plug® Air Cooled Heat Exchanger Tube Preparation – Brushing

Fast and Simple Air Cooled Heat Exchanger Tube Preparation Brushing removes any pitting or corrosion inside of the tube and creates an ideal sealing surface for the Pop-A-Plug® to be installed. The threaded swages allow the tube preparation brushes to be attached to an extension that will let it be passed through the header box void space.
