SS 304/304L & SS 316/316L Header Plugs, SS 304/304L & SS 316/316L Shoulder Plugs & Industrial Heat Exchanger Sealing Components Supplier in Mumbai, India

Unifit Metal Alloys is a manufacturer and supplier of SS 304/304L and SS 316/316L Header Plugs in Mumbai, India. We supply precision-made header plugs for heat exchangers, air-cooled heat exchangers, boilers and other industrial equipment where individual tubes require reliable closure or isolation during inspection and maintenance.

SS 304/304L Header Plugs are widely selected for their good corrosion resistance, strength and suitability for general industrial service. The low-carbon 304L grade is particularly suitable for applications involving welding and fabrication. SS 316/316L Header Plugs provide enhanced resistance to corrosion in more demanding environments, making them suitable for applications involving chloride-bearing fluids and aggressive process conditions.
