ABSTRACT:
An expansion sealing plug having a frusto-conical plug body with peripheral U-shaped grooves, an expansion member comprising either an inner wedge pin or a spherical member, and a tapered coaxial bore for receiving the expansion member. The inner wedge pin has a greater average outside diameter and the spherical member has a greater maximum outside diameter than the tapered coaxial bore. The plug body and expansion member are proportioned to be readily preassembled such that the expansion member is frictionally retained after partial insertion into the plug body. The unexpanded plug is inserted into a counterbore that is reamed or formed with the same taper angle as the plug body and the expansion member is driven axially into the plug such that the plug body is radially expanded to forcibly engage the counterbore.
