Bend-Tech, a leading developer of versatile CNC plasma cutting equipment and integrated software for tube and pipe fabrication, has introduced new square and rectangular plug assemblies for better-quality cutting of  non-round tube or pipe.The plugs are designed for Bend-Tech’s Coolant Support System. The plug assembliesare availablein a variety of shapes and sizes and feature a durable plastic frame with a replaceable rubber gasket. The new plug assemblies will be on display at FABTECH Booth B35065and complement Bend-Tech’s family of round plug assemblies.

The plug assemblies are designed with a wingnut which, when tightened,exerts pressure to expand the flexible gasket. This creates asecure fit inside the tube or pipe. The coolant hose then connects quickly and securely to the plug. The plugs help CNC tube and pipe plasma cutters produce a clean, quality cut with less slag and dross build-up, and minimal clean-up prior to welding.

Plug Assemblies Ideal for Cutting Smaller Diameter Tube & Pipe

Bend-Tech’s square, rectangular, or round plug assemblies are ideal for fabricators working with aluminum and stainless-steel tube and pipe with a smaller outside diameter, such as handrail fabricators, automotive fabricators, oil and gas, and others.With plug assemblies that fit their material, operators can confidently and easily flow  coolant through tubes and pipes for a better-quality cut.

The plug assemblies are designed and manufactured at Bend-Tech in a range of widths and heights. The company is currently receiving orders for standard- and custom-sized plug assemblies, with an average turnaround of approximately two weeks.
