Sealed plugs, clamping handles and cable glands
Moss Plastic Parts is promoting three products that have received excellent feedback from customers. The main reasons behind this are highlighted below.
O-ring Slottex plugs
- Made from polypropylene, the threaded plug can withstand the torque needed from an automatic hand tool, providing a strong watertight seal.
- Designed with a knurled grip and open slotted head, the user can also quickly and easily apply and remove the plug by hand, as well as hex wrench or screwdriver.
- The head's open slot design allows for any excess liquids to easily drain away, resulting in no trapped liquid to cause damage to components at a later date.
- As well as giving an oil and watertight seal, the 70deg shore nitrile O ring allows the part to be reused, instead of needing to replace after each use.
- The plugs are suitable for use during testing as well as during transportation. Their tight seal means that the plugs are suitable for hydraulic parts after they are pressure tested; the plug withholds any remaining liquid inside the component, preventing damage to paintwork or surrounding packaging.
- The sealing plug is designed for industry with SAE and UNF parts. Moss' new imperial threaded plug additions only add to the already extensive range of metric and BSP parts, giving users a complete selection from which they can test and try.
Indexed clamping handles

Reinforced Clamping Handles

Open Handle Clamp Handles
- Designed to be ergonomic, stylish and not collect dust and grime
- The open section in the middle of the handle allows dust and small debris to pass through. This keeps a product or machine clean and free from unsightly and unhygienic grime
