Tube Plugging
NHE is a certified JNT Technologies Torq N’ Seal distributor and installation contractor.
In the event a tube is determined to be ineffective, one option is plugging. Torq N’ Seal produce a leak tight seal even under extreme thermal and pressure cycling, and will not damage the heat exchanger. This seal is permanent, unless there is a need such as re-tubing or other maintenance. In which case, the plugs are easily removed.
