Sika Greenstreak X-Plug is a mechanical plug specifically designed to seal the void formed in a concrete wall by the removal of a taper tie rod or pass through tie sleeve.
The Sika Greenstreak X-Plug XP001 is an advanced mechanical plug specifically designed to seal taper tie voids in concrete walls. Featuring a high-performance EPDM rubber expansion system, this plug effectively compresses against the void walls when tightened, creating a watertight seal. The 304 stainless steel bolt provides superior durability and corrosion resistance, while the Xylan coating extends protection in high-moisture environments. X-Plug XP001 is ideal for water-retaining and water-excluding structures, ensuring long-term performance without the need for additional grouting.

What is the primary function of the Sika Greenstreak X-Plug?
The X-Plug is designed to create a watertight seal in taper tie voids in concrete walls, preventing water intrusion in retaining or excluding structures.
How does the X-Plug create a seal?
Tightening the stainless steel nut causes the EPDM rubber plug to expand, compressing against the taper tie void walls to form a secure liquid-tight seal.
Can the X-Plug be installed in cold temperatures?
Yes, but Sika recommends storing the X-Plug in a warm environment before installation to ensure optimal expansion performance in freezing conditions.
Is additional grouting required after installation?
No, grouting is optional and primarily used for aesthetic purposes. The X-Plug provides a complete seal without additional grout.
