Overview
The Appleton PLG-150 1-1/2″ conduit plug is a close-up recessed head design manufactured from malleable iron with a mechanically galvanized finish. This explosionproof-rated fitting is engineered to seal conduit openings in electrical distribution, machinery control, and hazardous-location installations. The recessed head design allows flush mounting and reduces snag points in tight cabinet spaces.
