Drain Plug Leak Seal Enclosures

Yes. The product is designed to help eliminate the need to drain oil from radiator banks or compartments during a drain plug leak repair. The appropriate installation method depends on the equipment configuration, leak condition and site requirements, which should be reviewed by qualified personnel before work begins.

The enclosure can be installed with equipment energized and online when conditions allow. This capability may help reduce downtime associated with traditional drain plug repairs. A qualified assessment is necessary to confirm whether the equipment, leak location and work environment are suitable for an in-service installation.
