Overview

Galvanised Pipe Plugs for Closing Fittings and Test Points in the UAE

A G.I. plug is a short solid fitting with a taper male thread and a square or hexagon head. It screws into a female-threaded outlet such as a tee branch, socket, elbow or valve body to close it. Because the male taper wedges into the female thread, a plug with PTFE tape or sealant gives a pressure-tight seal that can be removed later to extend the line or drain it. It is the male counterpart of a cap.

Hamza Fasteners supplies galvanised plugs from 1/4 inch to 4 inch in BSPT and NPT threads. Contractors in Dubai use them to blank tee outlets during first fix, close drain and vent points, and seal openings for hydrostatic testing. Send sizes and thread type to our Deira counter for a price. Brass and steel plugs are also available for non-galvanised systems.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between a G.I. plug and a cap?
A plug has a male thread and screws into a female fitting. A cap has a female thread and screws onto the end of a male-threaded pipe or nipple. Choose by the thread on the part you are closing.
Square head or hex head plug?
Square head plugs are common on malleable fittings and are easy to grip with a spanner or wrench. Beaded hex plugs give a neater look and suit socket spanners. Both seal the same way through the taper thread.
What sizes of G.I. plugs do you stock?
We stock 1/4 inch to 4 inch plugs in BSPT and NPT threads. Brass and steel plugs are also available for other services. Tell us whether you prefer square head or hex head plugs.
How much does a G.I. plug cost in Dubai?
Plugs are low-cost items; the price depends on size, thread and quantity. Send your list on WhatsApp and Hamza Fasteners will quote by return. Mention the head type and thread standard so we quote the right plug for your fittings.
Do you deliver G.I. plugs outside Dubai?
Yes. We deliver to all emirates and export to the GCC and Africa. We deliver to all emirates from our Deira store, and plugs can be added to mixed fitting orders packed by size for site use.
