Tapered Plug Stoppers - Lock Technology LTI by Milton

The Lock Technology LT868 Tapered Plug Stoppers are an essential tool for professional technicians and mechanics, designed to protect critical engine components during maintenance and repair. These specialized plugs effectively seal open spark plug holes, particularly beneficial for overhead cam (OHC) engines with deep access points. By preventing the ingress of foreign debris, these stoppers help safeguard against costly damage to the piston combustion chamber and eliminate the need for extensive engine tear-downs.

Key Features

• Secure Sealing: Specifically engineered to plug empty spark plug holes, preventing the entry of contaminants.
• Extended Reach Handles: Features extra-long handles for improved access and easier insertion/removal, especially in overhead cam engine applications.
• Debris Prevention: Acts as a barrier against dirt, dust, and other foreign materials from entering the combustion chamber.
• Multi-Purpose Application: Versatile design also allows for effective plugging of AC and oil lines during service.
• Professional Grade: Constructed for durability and reliable performance in demanding shop environments.
• Comprehensive Set: Includes a set of 8 tapered plugs to accommodate various needs.

Applications

The LT868 Tapered Plug Stoppers are indispensable for a range of automotive and industrial tasks. They are commonly used during engine service, such as cylinder head repair, spark plug replacement, or valve train maintenance, to protect exposed engine internals. Technicians also utilize these stoppers to seal off AC lines during air conditioning system repairs or to plug oil lines when replacing components, preventing fluid leaks and contamination. They are a practical solution for maintaining cleanliness and preventing damage in any situation where an open port needs temporary sealing.
