A plug assembly for use in a thermal-medium passage in a unit curtain wall, for example, comprises a circular gasket seat having a central cylinder with an annular elastomeric gasket placed on the gasket seat around the central cylinder, and a sleeve fitted over the central cylinder and fastened thereto by a fastener such as a hexagonal socket head cap screw threaded through a bottom of the sleeve axially into the central cylinder. When the plug assembly is to be put in the thermal-medium passage, the plug assembly is inserted into the passage with the fastener slightly loosened. After the plug assembly has been pushed to a desired position in the passage, the fastener is tightened by a tightening tool until the annular elastomeric gasket is resiliently squeezed between the sleeve and the gasket seat radially outwardly against an inner circumferential wall of the passage. A heat-transporting medium such as hot water can be prevented by the annular elastomeric gasket from flowing through the passage. The plug assembly is retained in position by a setscrew threaded through a passage wall against the sleeve. |
