What is the purpose of purge plugs in TIG welding?

Purge plugs are used to seal off a section of tubing or pipe. This allows you to introduce an inert gas, like argon, to the inside of the weld joint. This process, called backpurging, prevents oxidation and contamination on the backside of the weld, resulting in a cleaner and stronger bead.

What makes this set 'sanitary'?

A sanitary design typically means the plugs are easy to clean and have smooth surfaces that won't trap debris. This is important in fabrication to avoid introducing contaminants into your piping or welding environment, ensuring a cleaner final product.

What kind of heat can these silicone plugs withstand?

These plugs are made from high-temperature silicone, which is chosen for its ability to handle the heat generated during TIG welding processes without deforming or degrading. This makes them suitable for use in fabrication environments where heat is a factor.
