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.
Sika Greenstreak X-Plug XP003 is a high-performance mechanical plug designed to create a watertight seal in taper tie voids within concrete walls. Its EPDM rubber expansion system compresses tightly against void surfaces upon tightening, eliminating the need for additional grouting. Featuring a corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel bolt with Xylan coating, this plug provides superior durability in water-retaining and water-excluding structures. The XP003 model accommodates void sizes from 3/4" to 1-1/4" and is packaged in an easy-to-identify white pail for quick selection on the job site.
